A team of University of Waterloo researchers concluded that corporate investing in communities fell despite an increase in companies committing to the United Nation&#8217;s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) over the last decade.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers investigated the community investment of Canada&#8217;s 58 leading private-sector companies as a percentage of their net profit after tax to determine whether introducing SDGs created a material impact on how firms are supporting philanthropic endeavours. The findings ran contrary to researchers&#8217; expectations, proving that despite commitments made, investment aimed at supporting economically disadvantaged communities declined.<\/p>\n<p>The results provide evidence of SDG-washing, indicating that corporations&#8217; public commitments to global sustainability movements aren&#8217;t translating into socially responsible investments for Canadians. &#8220;The companies studied in our research are accountable for roughly $1 billion in community investment every year,&#8221; said David Benjamin Billedeau, PhD candidate in the School of Environment, Enterprise and Development.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This gap between promise and practice is not just a missed opportunity, it&#8217;s a wake-up call. These companies have the potential to drive real change. Instead, we&#8217;re observing a trend of &#8216;SDG-washing,&#8217; where public pledges are not translating into increased investments in Canadian communities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eurekalert.org\/news-releases\/1031438\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source:<a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eurekalert.org\/news-releases\/1031438\"> EurekAlert<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/sdg-washing-found-among-canadas-top-companies\/\">SDG-washing found among Canada\u2019s top companies<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1544,709,12975,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-123788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-canada","tag-company","tag-sdg-washing","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123788","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=123788"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123788\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=123788"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=123788"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=123788"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
