About
Welcome to the SDG Enterprise Awards 2025!
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States, is a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity. At its core are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a global call for action to protect our planet and improve lives.
The Junior Chamber International Victoria (JCI Victoria) has been recognizing outstanding companies through the Sustainable Development Goals Enterprise Awards (SDG Enterprise Awards) since 2020. The SDG Enterprise Awards 2025 continues this tradition, honoring companies that champion sustainable development.
Participate in the SDG Enterprise Awards 2025 to showcase your company's commitment to sustainability, gain recognition, and inspire others.
