In a historic United Nations (UN) summit, world leaders adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a universal call to action to address the global challenges we face by the year 2030, including those related to poverty, inequity, environmental degradation, prosperity, and peace and justice. To achieve these ambitious goals, the UN is collaborating with the private sector, social and public sectors, and academia to develop a shared direction and purpose. Together, the UN and their partners have underscored the importance of evidence-based and transparent long-term pathways, in which sound metrics and data are critical for turning the SDGs into practical tools for problem solving, tracking progress and accountability.** **The Lovell Corporation has taken the initiative to build on the SDG management framework by translating it to the individual and organization level. The proposed research will employ statistical and machine learning tools to bridge the gap of mapping individual actions (micro-level) against the SDGs and targets (macro-level). The resulting innovation is expected to support emerging Corporate Social Responsibility principles and practices for Canadian companies and organizations facing increased demands for information about their social and environmental performance. Such a novel tool will incentivize individual actions and mobilize groups through social networks, ultimately helping Canadian businesses be more competitive by supporting operational efficiency gains and enhancing their employer brand with transparent impact reporting.**

在历史性的联合国首脑会议上，世界各国领导人通过了17项可持续发展目标，呼吁采取普遍行动，在2030年之前应对我们面临的全球挑战，包括与贫困、不平等、环境退化、繁荣、和平与正义有关的挑战。为了实现这些雄心勃勃的目标，联合国正在与私营部门、社会和公共部门以及学术界合作，制定共同的方向和目标。联合国及其合作伙伴共同强调了循证透明的长期途径的重要性，其中健全的指标和数据对于将可持续发展目标转变为解决问题、跟踪进展和问责制的实用工具至关重要。** **洛弗尔公司通过将可持续发展目标管理框架转化为个人和组织层面，主动建立了可持续发展目标管理框架。拟议的研究将使用统计和机器学习工具来弥合个人行动（微观层面）与可持续发展目标和目标（宏观层面）之间的差距。由此产生的创新有望支持加拿大公司和组织的新兴企业社会责任原则和实践，这些公司和组织面临着对其社会和环境绩效信息日益增长的需求。这样一个新颖的工具将通过社交网络激励个人行动和动员团体，最终通过支持运营效率的提高和通过透明的影响报告增强雇主品牌，帮助加拿大企业更具竞争力
