Sustainable management for the future

The 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide the framework for a future worth living. Public administration plays a key role in this: it shapes rules and structures and aligns its processes with sustainability. Digitalisation and reliable data form the basis for setting targets, measuring progress and effectively steering measures. We are looking for solutions that implement the SDGs in practice and meaningfully combine environmental, economic and social aspects.
