Companies & Projects are labelled as impactful on Wunderwork that focus with their purpose on one of the 17 Special Development Goals (SDGs), e.g., climate action or clean energy. In 2015 the UN defined an agenda for Sustainable Development, which serves as a universal call to action to protect the planet, end poverty, and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. Therefore, it crafted the SDGs, a collection of interconnected goals, as a comprehensive framework for sustainable development.
We also would like to highlight other positive change organizations at Wunderwork. We consider net positive companies, B Corp organizations and impact oriented NGOs. All of these are on a journey to enable sustainable development into a world of contributing more to the world than they consume.
The net positive approach is a sustainability framework for businesses to create a positive impact on society and the environment, rather than just minimizing negative effects. Companies like IKEA and Unilever have adopted this approach and are on a journey to becoming net positive.
