Rapporteren over impact staat centraal in dit artikel, in het bijzonder rapporteren over de koppeling van impact aan concepten als waardecreatie, purpose en Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) en Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Rapportage over niet-financiële informatie is voor een groep ondernemingen verplicht, maar binnen de wettelijke kaders is veel ruimte voor eigen invulling. Dit onderzoek laat zien hoe die eigen invulling gestalte heeft gekregen op het gebied van waardecreatie en impact en wat ‘good practices’ zijn op dit vlak. Het laat ook zien dat vrijwel alle ondernemingen proactief over duurzaamheid rapporteren, maar dat een aantal elementen achterblijven in de rapportage, zoals langetermijndoelstellingen, vergelijkbaarheid en balans, de transitie naar een duurzaam bedrijfsmodel en meer en relevantere indicatoren op impact. Een eerste stap is gezet om ten aanzien van ESG naast operationele informatie ook relevante diepgaander strategische informatie te geven.

Face Complex

Contemporary societies are called to face complex challenges, deriving from globalization, the rapid technological evolutions, the intense demographic changes, and the social exclusion. These challenges are part of UNESCO's global mandate, as reflected in the Education 2030 Framework for Action for the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals, and have more impact on migrations and refugees. UNESCO's Global Report on Adult Learning and Education comes to play a crucial role in achieving the fourth goal of the Agenda, that of education and lifelong education. The present research, through the qualitative analysis of the text of UNESCO (GRALE 4, 2019), aims at pointing out the basic dimensions of adult refugees' education and how it can be applied. Through the analysis of the text certain thematic networks emerge, related with the participation percentages of adult refugees' participation, mapping out of policies, whose particular characteristic is the investment in lifelong learning, transmission of good practices and their evaluation.

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that a wide range of entities associated with the State and which engage in business or investment activities on behalf of the State have an important role to play in the promotion and implementation of the sustainable development goals found in the 2030 Agenda. The contribution starts with a background to the 2030 Agenda, followed by an introduction to the features of State-owned entities. Since the 2030 Agenda requires the ‘mobilization of all available resources’ to achieve its implementation, it is argued that entities that are owned by States could have a significant role to play in this context. Examples of good practices from a number of jurisdictions show how the development and implementation of domestic measures that cover State-owned entities have the potential to contribute to the promotion and implementation of the 2030 Agenda.

Abstract. Economic changes in the context of globalization have left adolescents from Latin American contexts with few opportunities to make satisfactory transitions into adulthood. Recent studies indicate that there is a protracted period between the end of schooling and entering into formal working activities. While in this “limbo,” illicit activities, such as drug trafficking may emerge as an alternative for young people to ensure their social participation. This article aims to deepen the understanding of Brazilian youth’s involvement in drug trafficking and its intersection with their schooling, work, and aspirations, connecting with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4 and 16 as proposed in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the United Nations in 2015 .
