With 17 goals and 169 targets, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are not likely to be straightforward for businesses to assimilate. Companies will be asked to have a position, to focus and to prioritise some goals over others.

At the 1st Bonn Conference for Global Transformation, 12th-13th May 2015, which took place at the former German Parliament in Bonn featuring over 700 participants, Earth Security's insights on how global business can address the complex development challenges it faces in developing countries informed the conference debate.

Earth Security founder & CEO Alejandro Litovsky was invited to provide a perspective on business and the SDGs at a diverse and engaging panel.
