SDG 8: We’ve been told of cases where our data has been used in humanitarian response, to ensure individuals working in supply chains have their rights upheld in the midst of disaster. Including how businesses have responded to the Türkiye/Syria earthquake earlier this year, and Workers Rights Consortium’s work to ensure those laid off during Covid-19 had their rights met.

Companies can pledge to protect their employee’s mental health through the Global Business Collaborative, and then ask the same of their supply chain, this can create sector change that then begins to positively affect the mental health and wellbeing of not only employees, but their families too.

SDG 9: Repeatedly hearing from businesses like Clarks, ASOS, KMD Brands and more that OS Hub has been critical in cleaning up their data so that they have a clear picture of their supply chain locations and can progress with the ESG work they need to do (here recognising ESG activities contribute to meeting SDGs).

SDG 13: We’ve heard about a European retailer that’s starting their carbon roadmapping journey. They spoke to two large multinational brands that are much further down the road with their environmental strategy, and are only sourcing from production sites that have plans to be carbon neutral by 2050. They told the European retailer to go to OS Hub and download their lists of suppliers (from multiple tiers), and they’d instantly know which facilities to work with. An example of businesses helping one another.

SDGs 14 and 15: Researchers are using open data to show where environmental degradation is occurring within supply chains, and making that information openly available for businesses to act and be held to account. We’ve seen research from WWF mapping how facility spread will affect ecosystems, and investigative journalism from Vice and Mongabay both uncovering illegal logging in cambodia.

We are super excited about the many businesses coming together under sectoral initiatives such as:
In Belgium, the top 5 Belgian retailers have committed to ensuring living wages in the banana sector (see Belgian supermarkets commit to living wage in the banana sector by 2027 on Living Wage - IDH - the Sustainable Trade Initiative).
In the cocoa sector – businesses like Divine Chocolate- that are owned and managed by cocoa producers, exemplify how another business model is possible where cocoa farmers receive fair payment for their work, can earn a living income amidst decent working conditions, and produce crops in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way. “Our vision is a world in which farmers thrive” - says Divine’s Sustainable Marketing Manager

Just before I share examples, of which we are very proud of at UNICEF… I’m a new mum to a beautiful 8-month-old baby girl, and we were incredibly fortunate to have received quality health care, have access to safe sanitation and water and access to life saving vaccinations. I’ll also be able to ensure she has access to a quality education and early childhood development services – all of which should not be accessible to the privileged few only…this is essentially what we are talking about today, how can business help to accelerate progress? Excited to share examples, which we hope are inspiring.

Lixil, maker of pioneering sanitation and housing products, in 2015 and focused on SDG 6.2, set the target of improving sanitation and the quality of life for 100 million people by 2025. We are working with SATO, their social business arm, who manufacture water taps and affordable toilet solutions, to elevate standards of living through improved sanitation and hygiene. Together we are creating a demand for their innovative low-cost toilet in the most vulnerable communities in Africa and Asia, with Lixil providing the innovation and working with us to strengthen supply chains. This shared-value partnership clearly demonstrates how business can work with UNICEF to strengthen systems and create sustainable sanitation and hygiene economies, critical for achieving the SDG sanitation and hygiene targets.

Another example is our partnership with Microsoft,, a partner since 2019 and aligned with SDG4 - and with the company’s recognition that due to their size, they can drive impact at scale through technology and in partnership with others, we joined together to tackle the education crisis affecting children and young people. Through the creation of a digital education initiative that leverages both organizations expertise: The Learning Passport, delivered by UNICEF and powered by Microsoft, we are able to provide online, mobile and offline modalities enabling high quality and flexible learning. The aim being to improve learning for millions of children and young people around the world. Microsoft | UNICEF
