A key takeaway from this workshop is that in order to fully integrate SDG's into business strategy, everybody must be involved. This includes senior management, employees, investors and importantly, suppliers. One approach discussed in this panel is to spread SDGs across an organization and assign specific sectors with responsibilities to develop a more focused delivery of SDGs. To make SDG intergration more manageable, it can also be useful to see how they relate to existing practises and tailor current operations to them.
