The Global Goals – effective implementation in operations
@Mannvit
Festa and Mannvit invite Festa member organizations to a workshop where they will discuss what constitutes successful implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
A unique opportunity to learn about how we can systematically work with the global goals and implement them in our core business.
Course description
Markmið ör-námskeiðs um Heimsmarkmið Sameinuðu þjóðanna er að þátttakendur hafi þau tæki og tól í höndunum sem þau þurfa til þess að vinna að árangursríkri innleiðingu heimsmarkmiðanna í sinn rekstur að vinnustofu lokinni. Á vinnustofunni verður farið yfir heimsmarkmiðin og áherslur Íslands, hvernig á að lesa – og skilja markmiðin, mælikvarða heimsmarkmiðana ásamt því sem að aðgerðir, áætlanir og áhrifarík innleiðing verður skoðuð. Fyrirtæki sem þegar hafa unnið í nokkurn tíma með markmiðin munu flytja ör-kynningar um sína vegferð.
