It is a user-friendly digital platform that helps you develop and execute your sustainability plan directly from the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. In addition, it recognizes your commitment and demonstration of implementation through Biosphere, the seal that links you to the United Nations 2030 Agenda and its 169 goals.
