Exploring Supply Chains Using Sustainable Development & SDGs To Unlock Local Leadership for Global Progress In Circular Initiatives, Women's Rights and Building an Equitable Society with ESG Leadership w/ John Holm of Pxyera Global

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as
the Global Goals, were adopted by all United Nations Member
States in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty,
protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and
prosperity by 2030. It is a bold vision referred to as the 2030
agenda and includes 17 interconnected goals, and 169 targets.
The SDGs also position the roadmap for sustainable supply
chains. However, many argue that the vision lacks local
context and has failed the global development community. In
Episode 29, one of our most provocative episodes to date, we
explore this topic with John Holm from Pxyera Global.


Episode 29 answers: have we failed the global development
community by positioning a broken vision, is the top of the food
chain motivated to build an equitable society, how to influence
success in reduce/reuse/recycle initiatives at the community
level, and how do we forge tri-sector partnerships in
social/public/private sectors? We unpack women's rights, and how
companies like 3M and BASF have clear line of sight using ESG
frameworks, making sustainability everyone's priority (not a
department).


Achieving the SGDs requires investments and policies that affect
specific places, and there is increasing realization that overall
global progress will depend in significant measure upon local
leadership and action. These local leaders, the people who
care deeply about community issues, who implement initiatives and
who shape local development, represent a huge window of
opportunity for global social change.Using their direct contact
with communities, local leaders are uniquely positioned to push
forward ideas, galvanize others and create immediate social
impact. Mayors and local government officials are forming
the frontlines of SDG implementation, translating the agenda’s
lofty and sometimes abstract aspirations into progress felt by
real people living in real communities.
