[VIDEO] Ethical trade and the SDGs

  • Alan Sadler
  • 21 April 2017

Are the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) actually achievable or are they just aspirational yet impractical ideals? How can businesses engage with the SDGs and align them with their own strategies, goals and activities on ethical trade?

This was the focus of our recent Ethical insights session. In the video below, the speakers reflect on the key points covered in the discussion:

  • Jon Barnes, Independent Researcher
  • Amina Khan, Senior Research Officer, Overseas Development Institute (ODI)
  • Ruth Mhlanga, Private Sector Policy Advisor, Oxfam GB
