Unlocking Sustainability: Harnessing the Power of Community Building
If, as a company, you want to work on sustainability and other social development goals, you can obviously put the energy and knowledge of your employees to good use. For example, by building a community around these topics. Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine worked together with experts from Radboud University to build such an SDG community. And they share their knowledge and experiences in a report.

And in doing so, the company wants to harness the knowledge and energy of motivated employees.
