Products of Change named as platform to aid Sustainable Development by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs.

This recognition demonstrates POC’s commitment and alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the work it is facilitating for its Members.

This year marks two anniversaries for global sustainability: 10 years of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 25 years of the United Nations Global Compact.

This year also marks five years to go to the EU’s Sustainable Development Goals 2030 target, so is a good opportunity to reflect on the progress achieved so far, the progress still need to be made. Businesses play a pivotal role in driving sustainable development, and through POC they can embed sustainability into the core of their business strategy for long-term impact.

Helena Mansell-Stopher, founder and CEO of Products of Change, comments:

“Well this is nice! What a truly amazing community we have here at POC. Huge thanks to our amazing industry for its continued efforts to partner and build the infrastructure through the work we are doing at POC, here’s looking forward to connecting again at Brand Licensing Europe, and to the POC Conference on the 5th of November.”

POC will continue to champion the UN SDGs at the POC Conference this year, which will include POC’s SDG Awards, founded in collaboration with the United Nations and Caroline Petit, deputy director of the United Nations’ Regional Information Centre. The awards celebrate the pioneers, the innovators, and the leaders who are shaping the future of our industry.
