Abstract

Over the years, the need to achieve sustainable development throughout the world shows a greater interest in society to preserve the state of the planet, a fact that influences the actions and decisions that companies take every day in their different functions. This situation makes the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), presented by the United Nations (UN), gain a position of great importance at the business level. These objectives are considered tools used in ventures and make them sustainable from birth. According to their classification, the SDGs were distributed in this framework's environmental, social, and economic dimensions. In addition, some cases of implementing strategies, measures, or action plans of sustainable enterprises that are developed to support the fulfillment of these goals are exposed.
