This year we’re calling upon our community of changemakers to pull together in service and contribute our collective skills in support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to make an impact on the world around us. As a member of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), we are committed to supporting the UNGC and their mission to advocate for universal principles like human rights, labor, environment, education and anti-corruption. As a for-purpose organization, PMI is dedicated to enabling changemakers around the world to elevate their impact on society. We believe that both protecting our planet and improving the lives of people around the world are essential for creating peace and prosperity. Hours for Impact supports the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the betterment of people’s lives and the planet, now and in the future. Now we’re calling on our global community and setting a goal of our own: to pledge 100K hours to advance the SDGs in 2021.
