Company Pledge Depth - SDG10
About the data
This metric covers Sustainable Development Goal 10 of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Goal 10 aims to reduce inequality within and among countries. Inequalities within countries rose by 11% in developing countries between 1990 and 2010. Growth must be inclusive in all segments of society and involve the three dimensions of sustainable development – economic, social and environmental. Fighting inequality can unlock new markets, attract new business, lead to innovation of new products or services, increase employee morale and productivity and manage risk in communities. The UN Global Compact suggests these steps for business:
Create decent jobs, goods and services that meet basic needs and more inclusive value chains
Make strategic social investments and promote public policies that support social sustainability
Partner with other businesses, pooling strengths to make a greater positive impact
