Make your impact visible with SDG goals

Companies that theirMVOtake seriously, can already make a difference today by committing to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By linking CSR policy and employee volunteering to these global goals, social impact becomes visible, measurable, and easier to explain to customers, employees, and other stakeholders.

Why SDGs are valuable for CSR

The SDGs are the global compass for issues such as poverty, education, equal opportunities, and climate. They provide companies with a clear language and structure to focus their CSR efforts on goals that truly matter.

For organizations, this means:

• Focus on the themes that align with core values and business strategy.

• A recognizable and internationally recognized framework for reporting and communication.

• More employee engagement, as they see which concrete goals their efforts contribute to.

Volunteering as a driver for impact

Employee volunteering is a powerful tool to bring CSR to life. By linking projects to specific SDGs, it becomes clear how much time, knowledge, and energy is dedicated to each goal.

For example, think of:

• A team day focused on greening the city (contributing to climate and sustainable cities).

• Coaching of language support for people with fewer opportunities in the labor market (contribution to reducing education and inequality)

• Collaborations with local initiatives that tackle poverty, loneliness, or health disparities.

How your organization makes a difference

As a company, you choose the SDGs that best align with your mission and CSR goals. Then, you select activities and volunteer projects that directly contribute to those, so that CSR is not just a series of isolated actions, but part of a long-term strategy.

This results in:

• A clear line from strategy to practice: from policy to concrete projects.

• Insight into hours, impact, and stories per SDG, to be used in annual reports, impact reports, and internal communication.

• Despite employees, as they see how their efforts contribute to a larger, global story.
