UN Global Compact CEO and Executive Director Lise Kingo announces the search for the 2017 class of SDG Pioneers – business leaders in every region of the world who are demonstrating how business can be a force for good.

The SDG Pioneers will be announced and celebrated at the UN Global Compact Leaders Summit this September in New York during the UN General Assembly Week.
