CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY2
Introduction
Sustainable development goals are adopted by the United Nations in order to combat
the problems of poverty and protecting the planet to make sure that every single individual on
this planet gets the freedom to live life live on their own terms with peace. These goals are
adopted by all the members of the United Nations and ensure that the problems that have
been detected and the solutions to be provided get effective within 2030. Murray River
Organics has been chosen for the development of this project as it is a BCorp Certified
company. The reason behind choosing BCorp Certification is that it helps in measuring the
performance of the company both socially and environmentally which goes right with the
integration of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
