Event Update SDG 16 Business Framework & Reporting Inspiring Transformational Governance Virtual |
|
Sustainable Development Goal 16: “Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels.”
SDG 16 is critical for business and business is critical for SDG 16. Business thrives in peaceful environments with effective institutions where operating costs are predictable and working environments are stable. The lack of such an enabling environment can generate costs and financial, legal and reputational risks. |

In June 2021, UN Global Compact, through the work of the UN Global Compact Action Platform for Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions, launched the SDG 16 Business Framework | Inspiring Transformational Governance. This is a tool that puts forward the theory and the demonstration of transformational governance and how it is underpinned by the targets and tenets of SDG 16: peace, justice and strong institutions. This framework builds upon international standards for responsible business, including the UN Global Compact Ten Principles. The aim is to present guidance and examples for each target of SDG 16 to encourage businesses to integrate the underlying values and principles of transformational governance in their internal and external activities.
UN Global Compact and Indonesia Global Compact Network ( IGCN) in collaboration with Indonesia Stock Exchange ( IDX) and with the support of the Ministry of National Development Planning/BAPPENAS and the Global Reporting Initiative ( GRI), launched SDG 16 Business Framework - Inspiring Transformational Governance in Indonesia on Tuesday, 01 March 2022 and conducted three Consultation Classes as follows: - Consultation Class 1: Business and Human Rights, Women Rights, Child Rights
