A retail company operates internationally, and increasingly incurs scrutiny for environmental and social impacts. In response, the company adopts the SDGs. The company sustainability director begins this process by linking the SDGs to material concerns for the company.
Which strategy should the director suggest the company take to directly address one of the SDGs?
The company should promote equitable access to water for surrounding communities. This strategy directly addresses SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation, which aims to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. Adopting this strategy would show a concrete action towards addressing a specific Sustainable Development Goal by focusing on improving water access and management, which is a critical environmental and social concern.
