Role of business in achieving the sustainable development goals in the global south : breadth and depth strategies of B corps in pursuing SDGs learning from north and south

Abstract

Despite the urgency to achieve sustainable objectives, institutional actors and private organizations do not share a guidance on which SDGs have to be in the agenda of companies. The project aims to analyze B Corps’ SDGs strategies in order to highlight how B Corps contribute to achieving SDGs and how they differ in their strategies depending on the social and environmental threats occurring in the countries and industries in which they are operating. To do this, a comparative analysis is carried out between developed “north” countries’ B Corps, and developing “south” countries’ B Corps, in order to provide dedicated policy implications of social and entrepreneurial relevance.
