The country's largest business organization has teamed up with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) to raise awareness on the sustainable development goals (SDGs).

A memorandum of understanding (MOU) for the partnership was signed by Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) president Enunina Mangio and UNDP Philippines deputy resident representative Edwine Carrie during the 50th Philippine Business Conference and Expo held earlier this week.

The MOU follows the signing of a Statement of Intent to work together by the PCCI and UNDP in March.

Under the MOU, the PCCI and UNDP will strengthen collaboration in building awareness and increasing knowledge on the SDGs.

SDGs were adopted by UN member states in 2015 to create a more just, sustainable and peaceful world by 2030.
