The Outdoor Industry Association (OIA) is among the global business associations that the United Nations has recently recognized as having an impact and moving the needle on ten of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Leaders from U.N. member states officially adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in September. The Agenda is based on 17 goals (SDGs) meant to “accelerate transformative change needed to lead our world to a more sustainable future.” As part of the launch of the SDGs, the UN has launched a new publication entitled “Scaling Up Sustainability Collaboration: Contributions of Business Associations and Sector Initiatives to Sustainable Development,” which also features the work of OIA and the OIA Sustainability Working Group.
