Emergency adjustments: How international crises impact firm adoption of UN sustainability development goals

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

Pursuing UN SDGs requires resources and commitment, which prior to the COVID-19 pandemic was growing and available. Following the pandemic, there is a growing call to reassess whether the SDGs can be achieved by 2030, or if the economic and social fall out from the pandemic means this is no longer achievable.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
