INTRODUCTION
In the modern business scenario which has made the process of conducting business very
streamlined and smooth compared to previous years, the development has been a mixed bag.
Despite the world forming into an interconnected trading hub and the economy of many nations
worldwide has gained much needed economic injections which have boosted their GDP, the
damaged to the environment and stakeholders has been immense. In order for businesses to
overcome he complex challenges imposed by the increasingly disruptive business environment
and to make sure their competitive edge is sustained in modern markets, following the
Sustainable development goal (SDG) is very important. Gone are the days where businesses
could function effectively in society and only focus their operations on earning profits from their
local communities without giving them something back and now, enterprises whether they
belong to public or private sector are required to make due on their promises of CSR activities
and social services. In this essay, all the detailed research that I undertook to properly analyze the
current levels of sustainability existing on a global scenario was based on the SDG framework
which consists of the 17 interlinked global goals which were designed by the United Nations
General assembly to develop a more sustainable future for all the population existing on our
planet.
MAIN BODY
Global sustainability

I undertook this assignment as I was interested in developing my knowledge about the
current wrongdoings that are happening in this world and learn about how sustainability is
supposed to be the beacon which helps us all. The major goals that were framed by me to
properly structure my reports and to develop a comprehensive understanding regarding this
subject was poverty alleviation, health and hunger issues, quality education and gender equality.
There was also discussion conducted on clean energy and sustainable water usage along with
clean water supply on a global level which is a major pain point for even developing nations
such as India and Pakistan. This essay is all about sustainability and its impact on a global level.
The concept of sustainability has been around for some time but businesses around the world
have not in effect adhered to the core objectives and principles of sustainability. This essay
explores the context of this subject concerning my experience in studying the areas of
sustainability while focusing on some key aspects of SDG framework as I did not have the time
and scope of analysing the entire framework while taking my findings and data on an
international scale.
