In accordance with the 10th Principle of the UN Global Compact on fighting corruption, the UN Global Compact works with various organizations to encourage collective action against corruption. This effort aims not only to fight bribery, extortion and other forms of corruption, but also develop concrete policies and programs to overcome corruption, improve business integrity, increase transparency and bring the private sector, government and civil society together. advancing the agenda for eradicating corruption and contributing to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—in particular SDG 16 and target 16.5 on fighting corruption.
Uniting against Corruption: A Playbook on Anti-Corruption Collective Action was developed as part of the UN Global Compact multi-year project “Scaling up Anti-Corruption Collective Action within Global Compact Local Networks”. With the six-step approach and deep dives on key roles throughout the Collective Action process, the Playbook enables readers to make a clear diagnosis of their local corruption landscape, identify and engage stakeholders and apply the Collective Action methodology to address identified corruption challenges and mitigate potential business risks.
Ultimately, this Playbook aims to mainstream the understanding and uptake of Collective Action among Global Compact Local Networks, businesses and other relevant stakeholders. This Playbook is now available in Bahasa Indonesia.
This report provides an overview of the workshops carried out in three key provinces in Indonesia where the agribusiness industry, specifically where the palm oil plantation is in operation: Southwest Papua, East Kalimantan, and South Sumatra. Throughout this report, a detailed account of the workshops undertaken in the three provinces will be provided, highlighting key insights obtained from these provinces. By examining these insights, the report will underscore the importance of collective actions among businesses, governments, and civil society in creating an environment that fosters fair practices, reduces corruption risks, and promotes a culture of integrity within the Indonesian land-based sector.
In 2019, IGCN captured important practice from business, academia, and civil society organizations in implementing the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact in advancing the Global Goals. These showcases are compiled into this publication as a series of reports of Filantropi Bisnis Indonesia for Sustainable Development Goals (FBI4SDGs) Members to supplement Voluntary National Reporting (VNR).
The action guides for the Forward Faster initiative provide companies that have committed or are considering committing with additional, target-specific details on key definitions, examples of actions and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), including interim targets, resources and options that companies can utilize as they define a strategy to meet the target(s) by 2030.
Global emissions are at their highest level in human history and continue to rise. Today, climate change is impacting economies, supply chains and communities around the globe, with the most vulnerable populations at the frontlines of the crisis. The good news is that we still have time to act.
The United Nations Global Compact is calling on companies to play their part in closing the ambition gap. Companies need to focus their efforts on deep decarbonization, reaching net-zero by 2050 at the latest. To show the pathway to reach those targets, all companies need to publish comprehensive transition plans. At the same time, companies must anchor their sustainability practices in a rights- and principles-based approach and ensure that their mitigation and adaptation measures do not deepen inequalities but contribute to climate justice through a just transition.
The private sector has never been better equipped to tackle the climate emergency. The time to accelerate action is now.
The action guides for the Forward Faster initiative provide companies that have committed or are considering committing with additional, target-specific details on key definitions, examples of actions and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), including interim targets, resources and options that companies can utilize as they define a strategy to meet the target(s) by 2030.
By encouraging all participant companies to set targets for SDG investment and finance, the United Nations Global Compact aims to tap into the US $17 trillion in annual corporate investments and dramatically increase the volume and proportion of SDG-aligned investments and SDG-linked finance.
The Forward Faster initiative targets on SDG investments and finance are fully coherent with and build upon the work of the UN Global Compact CFO Coalition for the SDGs (the CFO Coalition), which aims to “engage the global CFO community to align corporate investments and finance with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and to leverage trillions of dollars in annual corporate investments, including in developing countries” and to “create a broad market for SDG Investments”.
The targets and proposed underlying KPIs are derived directly from the CFO Principles on Integrated SDG Investments and Finance (the CFO Principles) and are already a part of the Annual Implementation Progress Report that companies in the CFO Coalition publish each year.

Gender equality is a fundamental human right, and the empowerment of women and girls is vital to enable progress towards not only Goal 5 on Gender Equality but all 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including contributing to the eradication of poverty, climate mitigation and adaptation, biodiversity protection and sustainable economic growth. Yet women and girls around the world still do not fully experience equal rights and, at the current pace, it will take more than 160 years to achieve equality in terms of women’s economic empowerment and participation. The significant potential of women as economic, social and sustainable development change-agents remains untapped, and barriers to equality must be addressed.
The private sector has a crucial role to play in accelerating progress by eliminating gender discrimination and advancing women’s rights, as women remain drastically underrepresented in business. A mere five per cent of companies globally have a female CEO (according to the 2022 Equileap report). Further, women are paid about 20 per cent less than men1 according to the International Labour Organization (ILO). Unfortunately, although business leaders increasingly have commitments around gender equality in place, fewer than 30 per cent of companies have established time-bound, measurable goals and targets.
Against this backdrop, now is the time for businesses to walk the talk by setting ambitious targets and taking accountable measures to achieve gender balance and equal pay. Businesses can and should create inclusive workplaces by addressing barriers to women’s participation in the labour force and fostering a respectful and empowering environment for all employees. In doing so, companies will not only unlock critical advances across all of the SDGs but also new business opportunities — with research showing that companies with high female representation have annual returns three percentage points higher2 and women’s business leadership is linked to better sustainability performance (including reduced greenhouse gas emissions, stronger worker relations and reduced incidence of fraud, insider trading and other unethical practices).

Improving the lives of the most vulnerable among us — including those living in poverty — is an overarching theme across all of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). For many workers, a job does not provide a way out of poverty for them and their families. Ensuring that all workers are paid a living wage that enables them to meet their basic needs — supporting themselves and their families to a standard that is universally considered decent — is fundamental to ensuring a people-centered sustainability approach that leaves no one behind.
A living wage or living income is the benchmark income level that allows people to enjoy a decent standard of living as stated in Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Today, more than a billion working people worldwide are estimated to earn less than they need to afford a decent standard of living, including sufficient food, water, housing, education, health care, transportation, clothing and other essential needs — an amount known as a living wage or income. These people make up approximately one-third of all workers covered by International Labour Organization (ILO) statistics and more than half of all small-scale farmers worldwide.

The Forward Faster Water Resilience Target is aligned with the commitment areas of the CEO Water Mandate, an initiative of the United Nations Global Compact in partnership with the Pacific Institute that seeks to mobilize a critical mass of business leaders to address global water challenges through corporate water stewardship.
The global water crisis is one of the most urgent sustainability challenges of the 21st century, presenting humanitarian, environmental and economic concerns. More than two billion people lack safe drinking water, and there will be a 40 per cent gap between projected available water and demand for water by 2030. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) may be reduced by up to six per cent in some regions by 2050 as the result of water risks. Further, freshwater ecosystems have experienced rapid destruction and declines in functions and biodiversity. Climate change continues to intensify these risks, adding urgency to the imperative to act.
This analysis is an inventory of the possibility of finding each TPB/SDGs target, at the level of 169 targets. To facilitate transparency, outline developments –both qualitative and quantitative– based on globally accepted enterprise deployment frameworks. Any company can use this disclosure to report on their efforts to achieve the TPB/SDGs. And greater transparency will lead to better performance. To aid understanding, this presentation is linked to illustrations of potential actions that companies can take to contribute to the TPB/SDGs. In cases where there are no relevant disclosures for a particular target, this Analysis highlights the errors, and provides guidance on where development needs to be made for new disclosures in the future. Therefore, this Analysis is a first step towards a larger ambition to develop a harmonized set of disclosures for companies to report on the TPB/SDGs.
This analysis is intended to be used in conjunction with the document “Practical Guide to Determining Priorities and Reporting” (hereinafter ‘Practical Guide’). This second publication takes SDG Compass3 as a starting point and offers a structured approach to help companies choose which targets to report on and how to use their reporting to direct action.
This document is the translated version to Bahasa Indonesia.
This document provides perspectives and recommendations regarding important parameters in company reports referring to the TPB/SDGs which are likely to be very useful for investors. The aim is to help companies incorporate information relating to the TPB/SDGs into their reporting in a way that can effectively inform investor decision-making processes.1 This document is intended for reporting practitioners involving companies responsible for integrating information regarding the TPB/SDGs into in their business reporting processes, and can assist investors in their engagement with companies in their TPB/SDGs efforts.
This document uses the disclosures currently available as a basis for further development and is not intended to create a new reporting framework, a combination of existing frameworks or a new set of standards.
By focusing on the information needs related to the TPB/SDGs for investors specifically, this document complements the guide “Integrating the TPB/SDGs into corporate reporting: A Practical Guide”, which outlines the process for designing the TPB/SDGs in business processes and reporting in line with the principles recognized as being related to human rights and the environment.
This document is the translated version to Bahasa Indonesia.
This Practical Guide does not create a new reporting framework. Instead, this guide outlines a three-step process for embedding the SDGs in existing business and reporting processes.
The first step discusses the process of determining impact priorities and identifying TPB/SDGs for companies to follow up and report on. The second step looks at how to define business objectives, select disclosures and analyze performance. The third step offers suggestions and guidance for reporting and improving TPB/SDGs performance. These steps do not always have to be sequential; can be adjusted for specific circumstances.
This guide aims to provide guidance for all companies, regardless of size, sector or operational location. This guide targets reporting practitioners specifically, but is also relevant to other professionals involved in corporate sustainability.
This guide builds on previous documents, in particular the SDG Compass developed by the UN Global Compact, GRI and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), which offers a starting point for companies to achieve the SDGs, including resources. The document offers a more detailed approach to determining priorities.
Business Reporting Guidelines and publications on TPB/SDGs: Analysis of Goals and Targets (Analysis) are intended to be used together as part of a regular corporate reporting cycle.
The analysis, among other things, includes qualitative and quantitative disclosures for TPB/SDG targets that may be relevant to the company, regardless of size, sector or operational location.
The Analysis Document also includes illustrative actions that the company can take to contribute to the achievement of each target. The publication “Focus: Addressing Investor Needs in Business Reporting on the SDGs provides additional information on aspects relevant to investors.
