The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a strategic framework to guide lasting, inclusive socio-economic transitions. They call for business participation in development and emphasize the need for partnership across the public, private, and civil society sectors. Actively contributing to the development of healthy social, economic and environmental operating contexts is vital to securing company sustainability.

Promoting collaboration at sector level is a crucial step to scale SDG impact and drive innovation that unlocks opportunity.

The aim is to identify a set of priority SDGs and 'Sector Level Objectives' for the Agri-Processing Sector against which (1) the sector can measure and scale impact and (2) around which companies can align their internal SDG prioritisation processes; therefore providing more direct and cohesive action for SDG implementation.
