- Abstract
On September 25, 2015, all 193 member countries of the United Nations (UN) adopted a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) designed to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all as part of a new global "Agenda 2030" ([39]). Many business organizations across a wide variety of sectors are now framing their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) actions in terms of the SDGs. For example, in exploring how a for-profit firm seeded sustainable and effective cross-sector partnerships (CSPs), Bode, Rogan, and Singh ("Sustainable Cross-Sector Collaboration: A Global Platform for Social Impact") show how individuals developed structures and processes within the firm that overcame the challenges to corporate involvement in CSPs. With issues as urgent and important as those captured in the SDGs, it is imperative that we find ways to encourage much more management scholarship that can inform - and critique - the way business and other organizations might make progress and improve their impact on economic and social outcomes for employees and individuals across diverse settings.
