What exists today are competing standards for sustainability re porting. There are numerous definitions\, scorecards\, and "sustainability " experts offering the right pathway to reaching the sustainability goals. IEEE is supporting further development of Recommended Practices that will build on the existing P7010-2020 Standards and move forward a Roadmap to understanding and developing Action Plans that will RESULT in achieving th e ESG/SDG goals\, supporting ongoing innovation\, and advancing the organi zation to meet the new challenges of the 4th Industrial Revolution.\n\nThi s session will present the assessment of current progress in meeting the S ustainability goals. It will go further and report on the critical assessm ent that is identifying the barriers to progress and provide a better unde rstanding of the multi-industry efforts needed to successfully transition to REAL SUSTAINABILITY. It will present proposed strategies based on the e xcellent work of IEEE's Sustainability Committee\, under the direction of Rudi Schubert\, and in defining the new Corporate Social Responsibility to advance humanity through technology.\n\nThe United Nations created the Su stainable Development Goals (SDG's) that cover the wide scope of 17 catego ries of areas of interest\, climate\, health\, education\, poverty\, indus try\, etc.\, This is what created the bridge from an aspirational climate change goals with the broader business interest. Now I will answer the ESG - Environmental\, Social\, Governmental goals. This is the broader impact the business has in building sustainable communities. This is the core fr om which public companies have been compelled to include in annual Corpora te Reports\, by investors\, disclosure on potential environmental and fina ncial risks from these factors. That created the multiple disclosure stand ards and reporting metrics.\n\nAgenda: \nTalk will start at 6 PM Pacific T ime\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/316438 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/316438 ORGANIZER:c.jackson@ieee.org SEQUENCE:7 SUMMARY:SusTech Talk: Making ESG and SDG Standards Work!
