💡 Make Sustainability Work: A Practical Framework to Align Capital, Governance & Impact for Real Transformation. Let’s put it into action! 🔄🚀

In 2015, the UN introduced the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—a bold vision for a sustainable world by 2030. Yet, nearly a decade later, progress remains far too slow, with only 17% of the goals reached.

To address this, initiatives like the Inner Development Goals (IDGs) have focused on strengthening the mindsets, skills, and leadership qualities needed to navigate today’s complexities. These efforts are crucial—but insight alone is not enough. We must now move from developing capacities to structured, systemic action at the organizational level.

This is where the Organizational Development Goals (ODGs) come in.

Companies can make or break the future. The ODG Initiative provides a practical framework that helps organizations bridge the gap between sustainability ambition and execution—ensuring that strategic goals translate into measurable impact.

Many organizations are already doing important work, but balancing business realities, regulatory demands (like CSRD), and long-term sustainability objectives is challenging. The ODGs provide clarity, orientation, and a structured approach to support this transformation.

How the ODGs help:

✅ Mapping the terrain – clarifying key areas for organizational transformation
✅ Creating a shared language – aligning sustainability goals across teams & sectors
✅ Providing benchmarks – measuring progress and identifying gaps

Let’s Test and Evolve the ODGs Together!

The ODG Initiative is a living framework, continually evolving through real-world application. This collaboration isn’t just about shaping the framework further — it’s about putting it to the test in the field. We invite organizations ready to work with the ODGs to join us in applying, refining, and scaling this approach.

Your company is likely already be further along than you think—the ODG framework helps recognize, integrate, and accelerate your sustainability efforts. We handle the complexity of assessing and aligning your goals, so you can focus on taking action.

How will the ODG Initiative support you?

✅ Doing the heavy lifting – assessing your company’s sustainability efforts & aligning them with the framework
✅ Supporting implementation – offering practical consulting and guidance to make it work

📢 Join us in this journey! Let’s explore how your organization can apply the ODGs and drive real transformation.
