The special educational program from the UN Global Compact Network — Young SDG Innovators — has launched for the second time at kmbs.

This year, young innovators from Nova Poshta, Ukrzaliznytsia, Caparol, Farmak, DTEK, Ukrenergo, the Energy Efficiency Fund, and Infotech will participate in the program. During the training, they will develop projects that will help transform strategies and processes in their companies considering the Sustainable Development Goals.

Osnat Lubrani, the UN system coordinator in Ukraine, welcomed the participants:

"I have no doubt that all participants will benefit from the program, as it is an opportunity to find innovative solutions to promote the Sustainable Development Goals in Ukraine. Achieving the 17 goals is an ambitious vision that the governments of the UN Global Compact member countries can only achieve in cooperation with the private sector. Representatives of large multinational corporations, small and medium businesses, which you represent today, play an extremely important role in implementing the Sustainable Development Goals."

Joining the UN Global Compact and launching the Young SDG Innovators program in 2019 was a natural step and the beginning of a long-term partnership based on shared values. Every day in the School's programs, we promote the principles of sustainable development, teach to think broadly, considering the interests of other players in social systems, and collaborate for a better future for every Ukrainian.

It is not surprising that kmbs graduates for the second year in a row take the initiative to become mentors of the program for young innovators, accompany them during training and the development of transformational projects.

At the program's opening, a graduate of Executive MBA kmbs, and now the Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the UN Global Compact in Ukraine, Vitaliy Vereshchagin, emphasized that to be a leader, it is not necessary to have the status of the first person in the company. After all, you can change your company, country, and the world by working in any role, in any direction of business activity. He wished the participants to reach new horizons during the training, not to limit themselves, and together with other innovators, move towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

kmbs welcomes young leaders who have decided today to start the path of change and proactively create the future of their companies!
