How the Sustainable Food Retail Certification Aligns with the UN'S SDGS
The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represent global, voluntary goals to end hunger, fight injustice, and protect the planet. The food retail industry can use the SDGs to identify business risks and opportunities, but there is no clear roadmap for how to tackle these.
While all private sector businesses can and are contributing to achieving the goals, the food retail industry is uniquely positioned to amplify its positive impact on global sustainable development. Grocery stores are the nexus of the food system, having reach into the food supply chain—both upstream in the context of food production, processing, and distribution and downstream to the people who shop in stores—and impacting billions of people and countless acres of land. Leveraging this reach can go a long way toward achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
