Thank you @ABCSharkTank for having me. Business plays a pivotal role in determining our collective future, and it is important that we guide them in their strategic integration of the SDGs. #ActNow

The capital exists. The opportunity is real. The challenge now is not ambition, but execution — ensuring that capital is effectively directed into investable pipelines that deliver impact at scale. The next phase of sustainable finance will be defined by how effectively we

I was pleased to open this roundtable alongside partners including the @UNinSouthAfrica, the @GlobalAfricaBiz and the South Africa Business Initiative for Impact, and to engage with leaders including @nmuffuh, Lebogang Mokgabudi, Cambria Allen-Ratzlaff and Professor Mervyn King —

Hosted last week in South Africa, this was an important moment to align that global capital with national priorities, and to focus on how commitments translate into real-economy outcomes. Our discussions at the forum centred on four key areas: energy transition and climate

Responsible investment is critical because it determines how capital shapes the future we are building. Through the Principles for Responsible Investment, we see a powerful ecosystem of asset owners, asset managers and institutional investors coming together with a shared

Nowruz Mubarak! On behalf of the UN @GlobalCompact, we wish a joyful Nowruz to all who celebrate. To everyone gathering around the Haft-Sin table, may the new year bring you peace and prosperity.

Rich, interactive dialogue with the UN Country Team in Eswatini, exploring how to accelerate progress on their five-year plans, attract investment and strengthen our role as a valued partner to the private sector. Thanks to RC @WachiraGeorgeW and the entire Country Team.

As leaders, we must meet that moment. This means being intentional about who we hire, who we sponsor and who we create opportunities for. It also means ensuring that as AI shapes our future, leadership remains grounded in empathy, accountability and inclusion. Because there is

The question is no longer whether young women have access, it’s whether they have a real path to leadership. At MTN Group’s International Women’s Day roundtable, we heard directly from the next generation of leaders. Their message was clear: action over words, authenticity over

Today, #CSW70 concludes. Across the past two weeks, one message was clear: gender equality is a business and economic imperative. From the “broken rung” to gaps in sponsorship and emerging risks in the future of work, progress isn’t guaranteed. It requires practical action,

Eid Mubarak! As Muslims around the world mark the end of Ramadan, we celebrate the spirit of generosity, compassion and community at the heart of this occasion. At the UN @globalcompact, we mobilize businesses to build a more just, inclusive and sustainable global community.

Corruption harms all businesses, large and small. Small and medium‑sized enterprises face unique challenges. This @‌UNODC and @‌globalcompact guide offers targeted recommendations to help SMEs identify and mitigate ​​corruption risks: https://t.co/3q5ov84EFx

Resident Coordinators are indispensable partners and trusted advisers to the UN @globalcompact at country level. Thank you to RC @nmuffuh for the invitation, and to Dr Achieng Ojwang, Executive Director of @GlobalcompactSA, for a rich engagement with the UN Country Team during

Young people searching for work. Communities without power. Farmers facing drought. The private sector has a vital role—but not just as a donor. As a co-creator. This week, @SandaOjiambo called for partnerships built on shared investment in the #SDGs. That’s the shift we need.

🌍 Women’s health is not only a health issue - it is an economic, business & societal priority. At #CSW70, @UNFPA convened leaders across sectors to accelerate investment in #WomensHealth. Thank you to all speakers & our special guest, Allison Mignone. 💫 #Equity2030Alliance

Women’s health is still vastly underfunded, receiving just 6 per cent of private healthcare investment globally, despite its impact on economies and workplaces. At #CSW70, I joined @UNFPA and partners for “Women’s Health Is Everyone’s Business: A Cross-Sector Call to Action.”

These conversations matter. When leaders come together to examine the data and speak openly about the realities women face in the workplace, we move closer to solutions that drive lasting change. Thank you to everyone who contributed to such a thoughtful and engaging dialogue.

Advancing gender equality requires both clear data and honest dialogue. At #CSW70 today, we convened women leaders for a C-suite discussion on gender equality as business strategy. We began by grounding the conversation in the facts — examining where progress has been made and

Today, we kicked off the 70th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (#CSW70). The message is clear: it has never been more critical to safeguard progress on gender equality. In a recent @Reuters opinion piece, our CEO & ED Sanda Ojiambo highlights that while more

Women’s full economic participation is essential for justice and human rights. Yet 2.4B women still lack equal legal and economic rights, and 1 in 4 countries are seeing setbacks in gender equality. Companies with gender-diverse leadership are 25% more likely to outperform.

This #InternationalWomensDay, safeguarding progress on gender equality is more critical than ever. Representation has improved, but the path to business leadership for women remains uneven—and the glass ceiling is being reinforced. Read more in @Reuters:
