Statement by H.E. Mr. Miroslav Laj\u010d\u00e1k, President of the 72nd<\/sup> Session of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ General Assembly, at\u00a0High-Level Lunch: Measuring Business Progress on the SDGs <\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

Good afternoon \u2013 excellencies, dear colleagues, friends, <\/em><\/p>\n

We are here today for the third SDG Business Forum.<\/p>\n

And it is a pleasure to address all of the high-level guests with us today.<\/p>\n

I want to thank our hosts: the International Chamber of Commerce, the United Nations Global Compact, and the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs.<\/p>\n

The topic of our lunch is measuring business progress on the Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>\n

But I want to begin, today, by talking about why<\/em> we need progress, to start with.<\/p>\n

Well, the first reason is that businesses are crucial to the SDGs.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget: there is a reason we made the 2030 Agenda a universal one.<\/p>\n

We did not have to do this.<\/p>\n

We could have designed a purely public framework. We could have focused on only national legislation and policies. And we could have put the entire burden of implementation on governments.<\/p>\n

This, actually, would have made our jobs a lot easier.<\/p>\n

But, we did not do this.<\/p>\n

We did something very different.<\/p>\n

Instead, we decided to aim for real transformation. To ensure that everyday life, in 2030, looks very different to how it did in 2015. And to, essentially, do something we had never done before.<\/p>\n

So, that is why the SDGs are universal. That is why partnerships are at their core. And that is why we cannot achieve them, without businesses.<\/p>\n

And, yes, here I am talking about funding.<\/p>\n

Because, without private resources, our prospects are bleak.<\/p>\n

There is an annual investment gap of 2.5 trillion US dollars among developing countries alone. And there is simply no way to plug it, with traditional resources.<\/p>\n

But we cannot reduce this issue, merely, down to funding.<\/p>\n

There are so many more opportunities to be found in partnerships with the private sector. For example, cutting-edge technology, modalities for innovation, outreach and advocacy tools, or mechanisms for data collection.<\/p>\n

And, in some cases, the private sector is directly driving the SDGs\u2019 implementation, on the ground.<\/p>\n

One example is Mastercard\u2019s commitment to connecting 500 million people to the formal economy by 2020. This will help to lift people \u2013 including many small merchants \u2013 out of poverty.<\/p>\n

Another example comes from Intel. It has adopted policies to boost recruitment and retention of women and underrepresented minorities. And it has committed 300 million US dollars to enhancing diversity.<\/p>\n

So, these are just two companies \u2013 working in a way that can drive goals on poverty and gender equality forward.<\/p>\n

But there are so many other examples already out there.<\/p>\n

And, I actually heard about some of them, when I invited business representatives to the United Nations in June, to discuss financing for development.<\/p>\n

And there are even more, I hope, to come.<\/p>\n

So, the SDGs need businesses; that is clear.<\/p>\n

But the same is true, in reverse.<\/p>\n

Because businesses, in turn, need<\/em> the SDGs. And that is my second point today.<\/p>\n

The 2030 Agenda is a treasure trove of opportunities.<\/p>\n

They can open up market space. They can create new demands for services and commodities\u2026 And, according to the 2017 Report of the Business & Sustainable Development Commission, they can generate up to 12 trillion US dollars in business savings.<\/p>\n

Also, consumers are responding to sustainability. According to Nielsen\u2019s Global Corporate Sustainability Report, released in 2016, 66 percent of customers are willing to pay a premium for sustainable products. And this actually rises to a staggering 73 percent among millennials.<\/p>\n

But the SDGs are not just beneficial; they are necessary.<\/p>\n

I do not think it is a stretch to say that there can be no business without sustainability.<\/p>\n

Because, let\u2019s face it, we are on an unsustainable course.<\/p>\n

If we keep going the way we are going; if we put off necessary action, until tomorrow; if we let the 2030 Agenda remain an ideal, rather than a reality, things will not, simply, stay as they are.<\/p>\n

We will see drastic change. And not for the better.<\/p>\n

This will affect people and the planet. And both need to thrive, for businesses to survive.<\/p>\n

So, the SDGs need businesses. And businesses need the SDGs.<\/p>\n

Which is why it is so crucial that we see business progress on the SDGs.<\/p>\n

But the thing is: we can\u2019t see progress without measurement.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.6″ border_style=”solid” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial”]<\/p>\n

Which brings us to the topic of this lunch \u2013 and to my final point today.<\/p>\n

If we want to accelerate investment, we need to track progress.<\/p>\n

This is just the way the world works.<\/p>\n

And it is great that we are all here today \u2013 to address it.<\/p>\n

This lunch is an opportunity to talk about best practices.<\/p>\n

For example, Aviva\u2019s World Benchmarking Alliance. This offers free, public league tables \u2013 which are aligned to all 17 SDGs. The aim is to drive sustainable behaviour and responsible investments.<\/p>\n

Another example is the Sustainable Stock Exchanges initiative, by Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵCTAD. This can be a resource for companies that want to enhance their environmental, social and governance reporting.<\/p>\n

We need to hear about these and other exciting initiatives.<\/p>\n

But we cannot pretend that the best practices are the norm.<\/p>\n

Actually, there are serious gaps in the measurement of business progress on the SDGs.<\/p>\n

Some companies have not integrated the 17 Goals into their reporting. At all.<\/p>\n

Others have \u2013 but many have yet to do so in a way that tangibly tracks progress.<\/p>\n

According to recent research by KPMG, 40 percent of top companies acknowledge the SDGs in their corporate reporting.<\/p>\n

But less than 10 percent of them have reported a business case for action on the SDGs, or set measurable business performance targets.<\/p>\n

So, this is where you all come in.<\/p>\n

Please share your experience. Tell us your ideas. Be frank regarding what has and has not worked, in your own reporting cycles. Point to the resources which have been most useful. And, most importantly, tell us<\/em> \u2013within the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ system \u2013 what we can do to help you.<\/p>\n

And, before I conclude, I want to flag that I am putting together a \u201ctoolbox\u201d \u2013 based on an event I hosted last June, on financing for the SDGs. It will include an overview of best practices and some of the key recommendations made by financial actors. I hope we can feed today\u2019s discussion into it.<\/p>\n

So, excellencies, dear colleagues and friends, <\/em><\/p>\n

If you are here, you already understand what we all have to gain by partnering on the SDGs. And what we all have to lose, if we continue with business as usual.<\/p>\n

Now it is time to scale up. We need to bring others to the table. And we need to ensure that we see more and more discussions, like this one today.<\/p>\n

Thank you all again. <\/em><\/p>\n
