Meet the 2019 SDG Pioneers
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) lay out a clear vision for a sustainable future, also shaping a new era for business. As part of our Making Global Goals Local Business campaign, each year, the UN Global Compact celebrates a group of SDG Pioneers — business leaders who are doing an exceptional job to advance the Global Goals through the implementation of our Ten Principles on human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption.
In the spirit of giving young people a seat at the table to build a sustainable future, this year the UN Global Compact will focus its search for SDG Pioneers to young professionals aged 35 and under.
SDG Pioneers are paving the way to the future we all want
The submission period for the 2019 UN Global Compact SDG Pioneers has now ended. If you are interested to join the programme next year, please make sure to subscribe to our Monthly Bulletin to get the updates and join the conversation on social media using #SDGpioneers.

Earlier this year, Global Compact Local Networks in several countries hosted national-level SDG Pioneers programmes. These winners will automatically take part in the global round along with other candidates.
