Developed by electric utilities with multinational operations spanning Asia-Pacific, the Americas, Africa and Europe, this roadmap sets a new standard for global best practices on how the sector and its value chain can contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It does this by identifying key impact opportunities and providing tangible actions that electric utilities can adopt to accelerate and optimize their impact in the run up to the 2030 deadline for the SDGs. 

Companies and value chain stakeholders should use it to map out priority SDGs and high-impact actions for their organization. The success of the roadmap is dependent on collective action: all impact opportunities and actions need inclusive partnerships and collaborations with sector peers and other local and regional stakeholders, including the value chain, civil society and academia, to achieve greater impact. The report also recommends that to help realize this opportunity, players in all industries should produce detailed roadmaps to further guide their industry’s shift to sustainable development, in line with the SDGs.
