Business Engagement
The Business Engagement Action Group represents businesses, nonprofits, universities, and local government offices dedicated to increasing knowledge of and action on Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals within Greater Atlanta’s corporate sector. Our goal is to help businesses see the value proposition in the RCE Greater Atlanta, so they will participate and contribute in ways that advance the SDGs and help them achieve their corporate sustainability goals. We envision a thriving community of engaged practitioners who see the RCE Greater Atlanta as a means for recruiting and developing talent, accessing expertise and resources, raising awareness, and sharing best practices. Longer-term, we see the RCE becoming a collaborative platform for higher impact corporate investment and partnerships.
