The Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations set 17 global goals to address poverty and inequality, and make the world a better environment for all people within the limitations of our planet’s resources.
These opportunities represent at least US$ 12 Trillion in untapped market potential.
This app allows businesses to find potential opportunities within the Global Goals that could generate business value and contribute to the Goals.
The Global Goals are based on 17 inspiring and practical case studies that illustrate how they can help with business growth, return-on-capital, risk management, and organizational performance.
These features are included in the app:
1. GLOBAL GROALS QUIZ: Find out how much you know about global goals and business opportunities. What is your knowledge relative to your peers and contemporaries.
2. INSPIRATIONAL CASE STUDIES – The app lets users explore 17 case studies from businesses who have contributed to the Global Goals.
3. SAVE AND SHARE YOUR FAVORITES: Save your most favorite case studies and goals, and share them with your colleagues and partners to incite action in your business.

The app was created by the Danish Management Society (VL), as part of an initiative to help its members understand business opportunities in UN Global Goals. VL teamed up with McKinsey & Company and 3B IMPACT to help Danish CEOs and top managers explore strategic opportunities within the Global Goals.
The Danish Industry Foundation funds the initiative, while McKinsey & Company provides pro-bono assistance.
VL is committed in fostering and encouraging knowledge of modern leadership. VL is committed to promoting financial success, social progress, and overall improvement in the society. VL considers the understanding of the Global Goals to be an important part of all this.
3B IMPACT, a consulting company, focuses on channeling capital and capabilities to companies that solve social and environmental problems. It assists clients at the strategic level in helping to unlock value and create positive change.
This app combines the unique perspectives, experience, and insights of VL, 3B IMPACT and McKinsey’s Sustainability Navigator to show how companies can create value from the Global Goals in the four strategic areas.
The app is a continuation of existing initiatives in Denmark, as well as internationally, such UNDP.
