Sustainability, sustainable development and social responsibility have been becoming the global issues. A number of principles, charters, standards, guidance, guidelines, and other types of initiatives were established to promote sustainability. One of which is the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) that will end in 2015 and be replaced by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is currently under discussions and debates globally before it will be published in September 2015.
The SDGs’ draft covers 17 goals and one of which is to strengthening the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development. This becomes a critical issue since a lot of organizations have been doing sustainability initiatives, yet the impacts are not significant or the problems are not solved.
