为了实现新的全球议程——可持续发展目标(SDG)——联合国成员国和民间社会的所有利益相关者都可以发挥各自的作用。可持续发展目标应本着全球伙伴关系的精神实施。商业部门有望以各种方式做出贡献,例如促进可持续消费和生产、人人有体面工作等等。本文阐述了两项旨在促进企业参与实施可持续发展目标的国际举措:企业行动呼吁 (BCtA) 和联合国全球契约 (UNGC)。本文探讨了如何增强企业界对 2030 年可持续发展目标的贡献,以及需要哪些额外功能。为了回答这些问题,本文将 BCtA 和 UNGC 目前的服务与 UNGC 日本网络 (GCNJ) 的调查和对日本企业的采访所揭示的实际需求进行了比较。该文件最后提出了 BCtA 和 UNGC 帮助商业部门有效参与可持续发展目标实施所需的关键因素。
To achieve the new global agenda—the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—UN member states and all stakeholders in civil society have their own respective roles to play. The SDGs are to be implemented in the spirit of global partnership. The business sector is expected to contribute in various ways, such as by promoting sustainable consumption and production, decent work for all, and so on. This paper sheds light on two international initiatives aim to promote business engagement in implementation of the SDGs: the Business Call to Action (BCtA) and the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC). This paper asks how they can enhance contributions from the business sector to achieve the SDGs by 2030, and asks what kinds of additional functions are necessary. To answer these questions, this paper compares the current services of the BCtA and the UNGC with actual needs as revealed by a survey by the UNGC Network Japan (GCNJ) and interviews with Japanese companies. The paper concludes with key factors needed for the BCtA and the UNGC to help the business sector be effectively involved in implementation of the SDGs.
