We believe that SDG #17, “Partnerships for the Goals,” is the key to unlocking all the Sustainable Development Goals. EY collaborates with leading organizations such as Acumen, World Economic Forum, Women’s World Banking, ChangemakerXchange, Impact Hub and Meaningful Business, as well as with EY clients including Unilever, SAP, Microsoft and Visa, to help impact enterprises scale.
Our collaborations bring together the complementary capabilities and resources of EY and organizations to unlock the power of markets and scale impact entrepreneurship. For example, TRANSFORM is a joint initiative between EY, Unilever and the UK Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office, providing grant funding and business support to impact enterprises in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and Latin America.
By embedding an impact focus within EY programs and creating a global mentoring community of alumni, EY teams extend the value of the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™, EY Entrepreneurs Access Network and EY Entrepreneurial Winning Women™ to impact entrepreneurs as well.
