Did you know? around 800 million still living under poverty rates and suffering from hunger, around 2.3 million people lose their roofs every year, fresh water is decreasing even women inequality is increasing. Therefore in 2015, in order to eradicate these problems and replacing millennium development goals, leaders from all over the world met at the United States to set 17 goals and 169 targets called UN’s Sustainable Development goals which need to be fulfilled by the end of 2030. The basic motive of these goals is to take assistance of all stakeholders and the business houses to adopt the concepts of sustainability and inclusivity, economic growth, effective management of natural resources and eradication of poverty.

However, how can businesses and stakeholders can perform in these goals? Stakeholder investments and business operations assists to create jobs, incomes, infrastructure, innovation, goods and services according to their customers preferences, healthcare, edification, energy and so on. One can imagine that businesses can provide everything which a person could need to live his/her life happily. Unfortunately, due to market gaps, competition, and other implementations most of the companies fail to obtain strategies like core business and social investment due to which they failed to obtain sustainable development goals.

  There are many social enterprises and NGOs are working to achieve the SDG. San Diego Founder Institute grads is one of the start-ups which links businesses with NGOs seeking assistance in the form of auctions, raffles, and giveaways. Till now, the NGO has collected $48.4 million in donations, operate non-profit missions in different countries and it also assisting corporations in reuse waste material and achieving donation goals through impacting social enterprises that align with their values. (Institute, 2019)
