Global Citizenship Report 2017

Citi and the Sustainable Development Goals In our 2016 Global Citizenship Report, we began connecting our reporting to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a core part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the 193 Member States of the UN in September 2015. The UN Conference on Trade and Development estimates that global investment needs for the SDGs are on the order of $5 trillion to $7 trillion per year . 1 Because access to financing will be key, we recognize that Citi has an important role to play in helping to finance the SDGs. We released a report in 2017 outlining how Citi’s activities relate to our priority SDGs, and will continue to report on our alignment with the SDGs in our annual Global Citizenship Report. Throughout this report, we have made an effort to indicate where information is relevant to action on the SDGs. While our work and the content of this report cover many SDGs, we directly reference only those where we can describe specific impacts. 1 United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, World Investment Report 2014: Investing in the SDGs — An Action Plan (April 2014), page xi, http://unctad.org/en/PublicationsLibrary/wir2014_en.pdf . These 17 interrelated goals represent an ambitious agenda to achieve a sustainable future by 2030. Citi has a role to play in all 17, yet our business most directly impacts the seven highlighted here.
