"We cannot choose between [economic] growth and sustainability - we must have both."

- Paul Polman | Chief Executive Officer Unilever | Global Goals Advocate

​

The importance of sustainability in business is becoming increasingly apparent. Paul Polman, CEO of Unilever, and Jack Ma, Executive Chairman of Alibaba Group, were both appointed as two of 17 Global Goals Advocates by the former United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in January 2016, demonstrating the United Nations' understanding of the need to involve business in sustainability practices. In Australia, we have seen outstanding leadership from Andrew Mackenzie, CEO of BHP Billiton, towards the Global Goals.

​

Now is the time for businesses to start to align their growth and their sustainability practices to ensure each business is adding value to our society.
