How can it help? –  Global Compact Network Japan (GCNJ) and the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) today announced the launch of a report summarizing the results of a survey on the progress front-running Japanese businesses are making towards realizing the SDGs. The publication follows up last year’s IGES-GCNJ survey report “SDGs and Business in Practice – Early Actions by Japanese Private Companies” which gave an overall picture of initiatives on SDGs by Japanese companies.
