AIM2Flourish Co-Launches “Introducing the Global Goals” Learning Program
In partnership with Medtronic Foundation & IMPACT 2030 #Employees4SDGs
For the SDGs to succeed, citizens must be mobilized to support the Global Goals. The Introducing the Global Goals resources are a wonderful next step to activate employees to do good for the world in their work, lives, and communities.
We’re delighted to announce new Global Goals resources to inspire learning and action. In collaboration with IMPACT2030 and with the financial support of Medtronic Foundation, AIM2Flourish is proud to announce Introducing the Global Goals.

IMPACT2030 Launches Employees for the Global Goals (#Employees4SDGs)
The open-source, multi-lingual resources are designed to help companies engage their employees on the Sustainable Development Goals and inspire change. AIM2Flourish is proud to be part of this initiative as a natural extension of our commitment to preparing Global Goals leaders in business and management education. With this initiative, we’re helping and helping prepare Global Goals leaders in the corporate workforce as well.

Introducing the Global Goals resources include:
1) Introducing the Global Goals, a workshop created in collaboration with AIM2Flourish, the world’s first sustainable development higher-education curriculum, and the Medtronic Foundation, focused on expanding healthcare access to underserved populations worldwide, and committed to activating a global volunteer workforce of employees, retirees, and patients to contribute to the Global Goals. The workshop inspires employees on the role they can play in advancing the SDGs in their local communities.
And THEN, employees can take the next step into action by sharing the Global Goals message with children in their communities:
2) Employees Teach the Global Goals is a collaboration with The World’s Largest Lesson, an initiative to raise children and young people’s awareness of the Global Goals and to encourage them to become actively involved in their achievement. This innovative workshop is already placing employee volunteers into classrooms around the world to help children see they have the power to channel their individual energies toward a better communal future. IMPACT2030 Founding Partners involved in the development of Employees Teach the Global Goals include Grant Thornton, Pfizer, The Ritz-Carlton, and TCS.
