Through shared value (combination of market potential, societal needs, and policy actions to

create a more sustainable and inclusive pathway to economic growth, prosperity, and well-being),
the private sector can identify opportunities to address social and environmental challenges. The
SDG Industry Matrix is based on the belief that all companies must comply with all relevant
legislation, maintain internationally recognized minimum standards, and respect universal human
rights regardless of their size, sector, or geographic coverage. UN website Global Compact

contains critical tools and resources that can help companies to meet their minimum obligations
and guide them to promote actions beyond these minimum obligations to achieve social and
environmental goals.
Six specific industry matrices provide industry-specific practical examples and ideas for action for
each Sustainable Development Goal. They profile opportunities companies expect to create value

for shareholders and society. The industries are as follows: Financial Services, Food, Beverage
and Consumer Goods, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Industrial Manufacturing, Transportation,
Energy, Natural Resources & Chemicals.
