The Brazilian Business Council for Sustainable Development (CEBDS), the Brazilian Global Compact Network and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) held the fourth edition of the workshop 'SDGs – From theory to practice: SDGs guide for companies'. With more than 70 participants and the support of organizations such as Enel Brasil, Sistema FIEMG, Itaú and Vale, the workshops trained companies to maximize their contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and minimize negative impacts, guiding your strategies to create sustainable businesses.
CEBDS Institutional Projects advisor, Tatiana Araujo, on Monday (21), in Belo Horizonte (MG), and CEBDS technical advisor, Luan Santos, on Wednesday (23), in São Paulo (SP), give a talk about the third step of the SDG Compass for Business, which guides companies on how to relate their goals to the SDGs. The training was based on the five steps suggested by the Guide.
The pilot edition of the workshops took place in July this year, in Niterói (RJ). The other editions took place in November, in Fortaleza (CE) and in the capitals of Minas Gerais and São Paulo.
About the Guide
