SUMMARY

• NWS and NDA Group are committed to the UN Sustainable Development Goals for a fairer, greener world by 2030
• Yet, the UN Global Compact’s Halfway to 2030 report shows that the UK is only performing well on 21% of these goals. So how do we better connect people with action?
• NWS has built a cultural maturity framework, based on the Inner Development Goals, to understand how our organisational culture fosters the intrinsic qualities, behaviours and mindset to meaningfully contribute to a more sustainable world
