Kenya’s network Executive Director, Judy Njino, said the private sector plays a critical role in achieving the SDGs as it holds significant market, financial, and operational resources necessary to drive large-scale initiatives to address global challenges.
“Transformative actions are needed in key sectors such as food systems, energy access and affordability,digital connectivity, education, jobs, social protection and climate change in order to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),” stated Njino.
“Only 15 per cent of all SDGs are on track and therefore there is need to stretch our ambitions as we race to the 2030 deadline,” she added.
Sanlam Kenya Group Chief Executive Officer Patrick Tumbo said that the firm is committed to advancing sustainable business practices through partnerships that promote financial inclusion.
“Sustainability is a journey of continuous improvement and by joining the UN Global Compact reaffirms Sanlam Kenya’s commitment in the achievement of the SDG goals as we work together towards a common purpose and a common future,” Tumbo said.
