Poverty Footprint Launch

Overview

On the occasion of the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit, the UN Global Compact and Oxfam International will launch the Poverty Footprint, an assessment tool that enables companies and civil society partners to understand corporate impacts on multi-dimensional poverty. As an implementation tool for the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the Poverty Footprint provides a unique opportunity for companies to collaborate with civil society and learn concretely how to make transformational change.

This event will convene diverse leaders from business, civil society, and academia to discuss people-centred approaches to assessing business impacts. Participation is by invitation only.
