Goals 1

No Poverty which means imagining all forms of poverty in any country. Poverty is a lack of income and
available resources to achieve a sustainable life. Poverty does not only mean in the economy, but also in
other accesses, such as lack of access to education. In addition, poverty also includes hunger and
malnutrition, social discrimination, and lack of participation in decision-making.

Goals 2

Zero hunger means that End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote
sustainable agriculture.

Zero hunger exists because of the emergence of various main problems related to hunger. Based on the
Global Hunger Index (GHI), in 2018 Indonesia had a hunger index of 21.9 which was included in the
category of serious hunger problems. At the ASEAN level, Indonesia's position is worse than the
Philippines, Myanmar, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand (Abdurrahim, 2021). The problem of hunger
itself cannot be separated from malnutrition and malnutrition. Lately, the problem of malnutrition and
malnutrition has received a lot of attention, especially related to chronic nutrition which causes children
to be short (stunting) and acute malnutrition which causes children to be thin (wasting). According to
UNICEF in 2011, Indonesia was included in the 5 countries with the highest stunting rates

Goals 3

Means that Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages

There are 38 SDGs targets in the health sector that need to be realized. In addition to problems that
have not been completely addressed, including efforts to reduce maternal mortality (MMR) and infant
mortality (IMR), controlling HIV/AIDS, TB, Malaria and increasing access to reproductive health
(including family planning), there are new things that have become attention, namely: 1) Death due to
non-communicable diseases (PTM); 2) Drug and alcohol abuse; 3) Deaths and injuries due to traffic
accidents; 4) Universal Health Coverage; 5) Contamination and pollution of water, air and soil; and
handling of crises and emergencies.

Goals 4

Means that Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning
opportunities for all.

In order to achieve the goal of a healthy and prosperous life by 2030, 10 targets are set as measured
through 23 indicators. The targets consist of ensuring access to early childhood care, primary and
secondary education, and vocational education including affordable and quality universities, eliminating
gender disparities in education, building and upgrading child-friendly educational facilities, and
increasing the number of quality teachers. The efforts made to achieve these targets are described in
policies, programs and activities to be carried out by the government and non-governmental
organizations.

Goals 5

Discrimination based on gender still occurs in all aspects of life, all over the world. This is a fact despite
considerable progress in gender equality today. The nature and extent of discrimination vary widely
across countries or regions. There is not a single region in a third world country where women have
enjoyed equality in legal, social and economic rights. Gender disparities in opportunity and control over
resources, the economy, power, and political participation are ubiquitous. Women and girls bear the
brunt of the inequalities that occur, but basically, inequality is detrimental to everyone. Therefore,
gender equality is the main issue of a development goal that has its own value.

Goals 6

Clean water and proper sanitation are basic human needs. One of the points in the sustainable
development goals (SDGs) in the environmental sector is to ensure that the community achieves
universal access to clean water and sanitation.

The main focus is on the availability of food, clean water and energy which are the basis of life. The most
important changes in sustainable consumption and production will be driven by technology, innovation,
product design, detailed policy guidelines, education, and behavior change. The Panel proposed twelve
Universal Goals and National Targets. The target calls on countries to “Achieving universal access in the
water and sanitation sector” which is expected to be achieved by 2030.

The World Bank in 2014 warned that 780 million people do not have access to clean water and more
than 2 billion people on earth do not have access to sanitation. As a result, thousands of lives are lost
every day and material losses are up to 7 percent of world GDP.

Goals 7

Inclusive economic development is the most effective way to reduce poverty and increase welfare. But
most economic activities are impossible without the availability of modern energy that is sufficient,
reliable, and has competitive prices.

Energy and how it is used must be efficient, sustainable and renewable as much as possible. In the last
20 years, several countries have made great strides in reducing energy intensity. If all currently available
energy efficiency technologies are applied, energy consumption could be significantly reduced to around
one-third. However, only a small part of this potential is realized.

Through a combination of several energy efficiency technologies, good building design, and new
renewable roof technologies, a zero net energy building can be built. In many cases, these buildings
generate solar energy which is fed into the grid for use by others.

Goals 8

To keep pace with the growth of the worldwide working age population of around 40 million per year, it
is estimated that more than 600 million new jobs will need to be created by 2030. The condition of
about 780 million female and male workers earning less than two dollars per day and not working
sufficient to lift themselves and their families out of poverty, also needs to be improved.
At the international level, Indonesia has made a very strong commitment to realizing decent work and
plays an important role in ensuring that employment and labor issues are included in the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs).

Goals 9

Sustainable investment in infrastructure and innovation is an important driver of economic growth and
development. Today more than half of the world's population lives in urban areas, therefore mass
transportation and renewable energy are very important, as is the growth of new industries and
information and communication technologies.

Technological advances are also key to finding long-term solutions to economic and environmental
challenges, such as providing new jobs and promoting energy efficiency. Promoting sustainable
industries as well as investing in scientific research and innovation are important ways to facilitate
sustainable development.

More than 4 billion people still do not have Internet access, and 90 percent of them are in developing
countries. Bridging this digital divide is critical to ensuring equal access to information and knowledge,
and the result will be encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship

Goals 10

The income gap is on the rise, with the richest 10% controlling 40% of total global income. On the other
hand, the poorest 10% earn only between 2% and 7% of total global income. In developing countries,
this gap has increased by as much as 11% if we calculate based on population growth

The widening disparity is a call for action that requires the adoption of appropriate policies to empower
the bottom earners and promote economic inclusion for all regardless of gender, race or ethnicity.

Income inequality is a global problem that requires a global solution. This involves improving
regulations, monitoring markets and financial institutions, and encouraging development assistance and
foreign direct investment to areas where it is most needed. Facilitating safe movement and movement
of people is also key to bridging widening differences.

Goals 11

More than half of the world's population now lives in urban areas. By 2050, that number will rise to 6.5
billion people, two-thirds of the world's population. Sustainable development will not be achieved
without significant changes in the way we build and manage urban areas

The rapid growth of cities in developing countries, coupled with increasing urbanization, has resulted in
an explosion in the number of megapolitans. In 1990, there were ten megapolitans with a population of
10 million or more. As of 2014, there were 28 megapolitans that were home to about 453 million
people.
Extreme poverty is often concentrated in urban areas, and national and municipal governments are
struggling to accommodate the growing population in these areas. Creating safe and sustainable cities
means ensuring access to safe and affordable housing, and improving slum settlements. It also involves
investing in public transport, creating green spaces for the public, and improving urban planning and
governance that is inclusive and inclusive.

Goals 12

Achieving economic growth and sustainable development means we must recognize the importance of
reducing our ecological footprint by changing the way we produce and consume food and other
resources. Agriculture is the largest user of water worldwide, and currently irrigation takes up about 70
percent of the use of clean water fit for human use.

Efficient management of the use of shared natural resources, and the way we dispose of toxic waste and
pollutants are important targets for achieving this goal. It is equally important to encourage industry,
business and consumers to recycle and reduce waste, as is supporting developing countries to move
towards more sustainable consumption patterns by 2030.

There are still many people in the world who even consume their basic needs cannot be said to be
feasible. Reducing global per capita food waste from traders and consumers by half is also important for
creating more efficient production and supply chains. This can help maintain food security and lead us to
a resource efficient economy.

Goals 13

There is not a single country in the world that has not experienced the direct, dramatic effects of climate
change. Greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase, and are currently at 50 percent higher levels
than they were in 1990. Furthermore, global warming is causing lasting changes to our climate system,
and the consequences will be irreversible unless we take action.

Average annual losses from earthquakes, tsunamis, tropical storms and floods account for about
hundreds of billions of dollars, and this requires an investment of US$6 billion per year in disaster risk
management costs alone. The goal seeks to raise $100 billion annually by 2020 to meet the needs of
developing countries and help reduce disasters caused by climate change.

Strengthening the resilience and adaptive capacity of more vulnerable regions, such as countries in the
middle of the continent and archipelagic countries, must go hand in hand with raising awareness and
incorporating measures into national policies and strategies. Given the political will and the widespread
use of technological measures, it is still possible for us to limit the increase in the global average
temperature to two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. This requires immediate concerted
action.
Goals 14

The world's oceans—temperature, chemical elements, currents, and life in them—are driving the global
system that makes Earth habitable for humans. The way we manage this vital resource is critical to
human life as a whole, and to offset the effects of climate change.

More than 3 billion people depend on marine and coastal biodiversity for their livelihoods. But today we
see that 30 percent of the world's fish stocks are overexploited, well below the level at which they can
produce sustainable yields.

The oceans also absorb about 30 percent of the carbon dioxide that humans produce, and we're seeing
a 26 percent increase in ocean acidification since the start of the industrial revolution. Marine pollution,
which comes mainly from land, has reached alarming levels, with an average of 13,000 pieces of plastic
waste found in every square kilometer of the ocean.

The SDGs create a sustainable framework to regulate and protect marine and coastal ecosystems from
land-based pollution, as well as to raise awareness about the effects of ocean acidification.
Strengthening the protection and sustainable use of marine resources through international law will also
help address the challenges facing our oceans.

Goals 15

Human life depends on the land just as we depend on the sea for food and livelihoods. Plants provide 80
percent of human food, and we depend on agriculture as an important source of our economy and a
tool of development. Forests cover 30 percent of the earth's surface, and are habitats for millions of
species as well as a source of clean water and air, and are also very important to fight climate change.

In the current era there has been a decline in soil quality as it is today, and the loss of arable land is 30 to
35 times the historical average. Long-term droughts and desertification are also increasing every year,
reaching 12 million hectares and affecting poor communities around the world. Of the 8,300 known
animals, 8 percent are extinct and 22 percent are on the verge of extinction.

The SDGs seek to protect and improve the use of terrestrial ecosystems such as forests, swamps, lands
and mountains by 2020. Promoting sustainable forest management and halting deforestation is also
critical to halting the impacts of climate change. Urgent action must be taken to reduce the loss of
natural habitats and biodiversity that are part of our common heritage

Goals 16

Peace, stability, human rights and effective governance based on the rule of law are important pathways
to sustainable development. We live in an increasingly divided world. Some regions enjoy continued
peace, security and prosperity, while other regions appear to be constantly in a cycle of conflict and
violence. This condition is unavoidable and must be known.

High levels of armed violence and insecurity have a detrimental impact on the development of a
country, affect economic growth, and often lead to resentment among communities that can last for
generations. Sexual violence, crime, exploitation and torture also often occur in conditions of conflict or
where there are no laws governing it, and states must take action to protect those at risk.

The SDGs seek to significantly reduce all forms of violence, and work with governments and
communities to find long-term solutions to conflict and insecurity. Strengthening the rule of law and
promoting human rights are key to this process, as well as reducing illegal arms trafficking and
strengthening developing countries' participation in global institutions and governance.

Goals 17

The SDGs can only be realized with a strong commitment to global partnerships and cooperation.
Although official development assistance from developed countries increased by 66 percent between
2000 and 2014, humanitarian crises due to conflict and natural disasters continue to demand assistance
and financial resources. Many countries are also seeking official development assistance to boost
growth and trade.

Never has the world been better connected than it is today. Improving access to technology and
knowledge is an important way to share ideas and encourage innovation. Coordinated policies need to
be put in place to help developing countries manage their debt, as well as encourage investment in
underdeveloped countries because these are vital to achieving sustainable growth and development.

This objective aims to strengthen North-South and South-South cooperation by supporting national
plans to achieve targets. Encouraging international trade and helping developing countries increase their
exports, is part of the effort to achieve a universal and appropriate rules-based trading system that is
open, fair and beneficial to all parties.

Business Action on SDGs

As we know The SDGs call for worldwide action among governments, business and civil society to end
poverty and create a life of dignity and opportunity for all, within the boundaries of the planet. That’s
why SDGs needed on Business Action. Based on SDGs Compass, there are the 5 steps for Business Action
on SDGs :

1. Understanding the SDGs >>> On this Step Business People must know about “What is the
SDGs?” and “What Business that suitable to your goals on SDGs”. For the example The target of
business people is SDGs number 5 on Gender Equality. It opens up job opportunities regardless
of gender, but does not demean a particular gender. An example of a business is a salon. It used
to be that many thought that the salon was only a job for women. However, as the times
progressed, many men began to enter this profession.
2. Defining Priorities>>> It means that Business People should now have an understanding of its
current and potential, negative and positive impacts on sustainable development. Then,
business people must For example, a manufacturing company that uses a lot of water should
look for an area that has a lot of water. Don't look for dry lava and damage the environment by
drilling underground water up to the limit
 3. Setting Goals >>>> On this step you must define your scope of goals. It is recommended that the
scope of your business sustainability goals is guided by the strategic priorities identified in step
02. This will ensure that your company’s goals will include opportunities to make positive
contributions to the SDGs as well as to reduce current and potential negative impacts
4. Integrating >>> has the potential to transform all aspects of our company’s core business,
including its product and service offering, customer segments, supply chain management, choice
and use of raw materials, transport and distribution networks and product end-of-life
5. Reporting & Communicating >>>> Its means that the business must do sustainability reporting. If
want to make the sustainability reporting It is important for companies to use internationally-
recognized standards for sustainability reporting such as the comprehensive standards offered
by GRI and/or issue level reporting mechanisms like CDP and others

Example Company :

Since 2017, APRIL has worked with PwC Singapore to assess the impact of its business activities using
the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a framework. The assessment showed that
the outputs and outcomes of APRIL’s business activities have a direct impact on 41 SDG targets across
15 goals.

Following extensive research and an in-depth review of existing data by PwC focusing on APRIL’s
business activities, peer benchmarking and national and provincial data and literature, seven priority
SDGs were initially identified: three core goals with direct alignment with APRIL’s operations, and four
catalytic goals where the company believes it can also make a positive impact. An initial report on this
stage of the project, which captured the underlying methodology of the project, was published in May
2019.

The SDGs provide APRIL with a global framework to align its sustainability commitments and strategies
with the global development agenda, while also helping the company to strategically focus its resources
and programs where the need is greatest. At a practical and operational level, this also helps APRIL to
connect its sustainability strategies and contributions to global and national priorities and translate
these to actions on the ground to support the achievement of the SDGs in Indonesia across all levels of
society.

The APRIL2030 commitments provide APRIL with a set of targets to be achieved by 2030. All the
commitments have been designed with targets and metrics to ensure that progress can be measured
regularly and that they are closely aligned with the UN SDGs.

APRIL Group have 4 Indicator for Achieving APRIL 2030 :

1. Climate Positive Include Net Zero Emissions from land use, Reduce product carbon emissions by
25%, Mill and fiber operations energy consumption from renewable and cleaner energy sources
2. Thriving Landscape includes Invest in landscape conservation funded by plantation fiber
production, Zero net loss of conservation and restoration areas, Support wildlife protection in
Indonesia
3. Inclusive Progress includes
