Diamonds are build through pressure! Have a read about the fun premier of Lifesparkz Bike & Talk concept at the Côte d'Azur on Monday - and a glimpse into the Lifesparkz Diamond of the 17 SDGs concept. Cooperate cycling is an action to build strong relations and win a challenge even when the road seems too steep.

Partnering with the People Who Make Our Clothing - The Cleanest Line

These days I am digging into how the Supply Chain is a key element when businesses pursue the Sustainable Development Goals. Patagonia is in many ways a frontrunning company - the company has recently teamed up with Fair Trade USA to create a Fair Trade Apparel line. Patagonia has introduced a premium system at their factories to promote worker's rights to have a say in creating good working conditions, Fair Trade USA is monitoring it: "Brands have a lot of power. Factory workers don’t. Being able to work in safe conditions and to have a voice in the workplace is hugely empowering." Read and get inspired!

What is the 17 Sustainable Development Goals all about?

: The UNs 17 Sustainable Development Goals - A quick intro

Launched
September 2015 by the UN General Assembly and supported world wide by 193 nations

17 Global Goals
The Sustainable Development Goals (short SDGs) comprise of 17 Global Goals - each having a thematic approach to target measures for a global sustainable development by 2030.
​The goals are interconnected.

169 target-goals
A number of target-goals have been set for each Global Goal. They function as guidelines for focus areas and measures in order to reach the thematic Global Goals.

Why
"A universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity" (Source: UNDP)

When
2016-2030

Who
United Nation's agency for development - UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) is the overall driver of communicating the SDGs. The SDGs guide the policies and funding of UNDP until 2030.

HOWEVER, a key aspect of the framework is to engage nations, companies, organisations and civil societies world-wide to take part in making the SDGs into actions and concrete initiatives. Create partnerships to reach the goals (Global Goal 17). In other words: Everyone can take action to reach a sustainable development.

Only by putting action to words about sustainability - we can sustain well-being

I am on a mission to meet others, who is working to make a sustainable change. I want to share stories about the HOWs and spread the word to make sustainable actions - into the new normal ways of doing 'business as usual'.

Let the UNs framework of the Sustainable Development Goals guide us, so we through our common actions can be the change.

Thank you all for liking Lifesparkz Consult page! You help me to build a community of people, who want to work for sustainable business. Today I met with one of them. Clémentine Claudon founder of Le Cercle des Olives (The circle of olives). She is a brave entrepréneuse now setting up a magasine for elderly people in Nice "Le Bulletin des Olives" as a part of her aim to generate activities to make people meet and relate between generations. In that way improving well-being of people in a world, where relations are being more and more digitalised - and more people feel lonely. The first edition of the imidiate in-hands product, the magazine, I saw today. It is brilliant! As we said our goodbuys for today, Clémentine continued to distribute Le Bulletin des Olives to local hairdressers, pet shops and health stores: The shops where senior people in Nice come. I am proud to follow Clémentine in the development of her business - you are awesome!
