The private sector is critical to achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. The SDG2000 list, created by the World Benchmarking Alliance, identifies the 2,000 most influential companies, from Algeria to Vietnam. These are the companies that are going to shape our future. In the coming years through benchmarking, WBA’s benchmarks can promote a ‘race to the top’ in which leaders are motivated to do more and laggards are held to account. This information will be free and available for everyone.

The WBA relied primarily on Thomson Reuters Business Classification (TRBC) to build initial lists and supplemented this with wide-ranging additional research. The SDG 2000 list uses an industry categorisation developed by WBA but based on TRBC.
