Abstract

In order to illustrate the necessity for action, the authors report on the current influence of Sustainable Development Goals Disclosure (SDGD) status in Europe, especially in Germany. For this analysis, the authors consider data spread over several years, in order to explain the influence of the pandemic on SDGD, especially in terms of Social Development Goals (SDGs) 12 (responsible consumption and production), 13 (climate action) and 17 (partnerships for the goals). Detailed cases from industry and for institutions where current actions are already having a high impact on the future are discussed.
