As a partner to the United Nations, we’ve pledged to support the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—a set of 17 initiatives adopted by member states in 2015 focused on impacting the world for good by 2030.

To help accelerate progress towards these SDGs, earlier this year we launched the #BuildFor2030 campaign. This campaign highlights Microsoft partners whose technology solutions align with the SDGs, bringing us all a step closer to powering a more inclusive economy.  

Looking back on our first year of #BuildFor2030

We thank and celebrate partners who participated in the first year of our #BuildFor2030 campaign. We are proud of our collective work promoting and furthering many of the SDGs.
