SDGs and UN Procurement

The 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are key drivers for global initiatives aimed at ensuring a sustainable future. Danish companies are well positioned to contribute with their solutions and knowledge.

SDGs
The launch of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015 has been a key driver for global initiatives aimed at reversing the effects of climate change and contributing to sustainable development, both socially and economically. Working alongside the Permanent Mission of Denmark to the UN, our team is lead on engaging the private sector in the SDG agenda. We support Danish companies in contributing to the SDGs and achieving their global public affairs goals while growing their business abroad.

UN Procurement
The UN system also represents a vast export opportunity with a total procurement budget of more than $29 billion in 2023. Denmark is the 2nd largest supplier to the UN and Danish companies exported for more than $1 billion annually to UN organizations for the last four consecutive years. The demand for innovative quality products, sustainable solutions and partnerships provides rich opportunities for Danish companies and our team helps Danish companies gain a foothold and expand their exports.
