In November 2021, Spark Strategy and the United Nations Association of Australia (Victoria Division) launched a practical handbook to support Australian organisations to align to and benefit from the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
This handbook is a resource for organisations from all industries and sectors, including not-for-profits, government agencies, the private sector, social enterprises, universities and philanthropic trusts and foundations. It includes background information about the SDGs, case studies, insights and lessons, a checklist of key tips, and more.
The launch event saw a panel of incredible speakers each give a short presentation and answer a series of questions from the audience. Panellists represented Sydney Opera House, Zoos Victoria, Transurban, the Lord Mayor’s Charitable Foundation and B Lab Australia New Zealand, with discussion facilitated by the paper’s co-authors; Sophie Arnold, Heather Morecroft and me.
Check out the fabulous panel launch event video below. You can also download your copy of the handbook here!
