Target 17.16: Global partnership with multi-stakeholder partnerships
Enhance the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development, complemented by multi-stakeholder partnerships that mobilize and share knowledge, expertise, technology and financial resources
Owners remove an obstacle nothing else removes. Others must also act.
Why shareholder democracy is necessary
Multi-stakeholder partnerships require corporate participants. The UN Global Compact has over 20,000 companies in more than 160 countries committed to principles on human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption. Officially mobilized private finance reached 55.3 billion dollars in 2022. Owners can supply a necessary input by pressing companies to join and honor such partnerships. Governments and the UN system organize and co-fund them and must also act.
How this was scoredNecessary
Necessary. Owners remove an obstacle nothing else removes. Others must also act.
We have not yet written down the two answers behind this rating. Recording them on every item, so a reader can check the reasoning and not only the conclusion, is work in progress.
Every rating is the higher of two answers, one for what companies do and one for what they spend to stop the outcome, because the same vote reaches both. See the full method.
Sources
No shareholder advocacy found yet
We looked and found nothing that met our standard, which is a source we opened and confirmed. No shareholder proposal or investor engagement located that asks a company to join or honor a multi-stakeholder partnership such as the UN Global Compact. Web search was unavailable for this batch, so this result rests on direct fetches only.
How this rating was made
Every item on every one of our maps is read against one question: how far does this depend on the people who own companies voting their values? We answer it twice, once for what companies do and once for what they spend to stop the outcome, and take whichever answer is higher, since the same vote reaches both. The score carries its reasoning and its sources so that a reader can check it rather than take it.
- Pivotal. Owners voting their values can deliver most of the outcome.
- Necessary. Owners remove an obstacle nothing else removes, and others must also act.
- Helpful. Owners voting their values help, and others carry most of it.
- Independent. This moves without owners. Other levers carry it.
The advocacy record on this page holds only what a source we opened says happened. Where we searched and found nothing, the page says so rather than leaving a silence. Where a campaign names a filer the source does not name, it says that too. Ratings are ours; the list of subjects is UN Sustainable Development Goals's, and we link to their original.
