We join Amy Wendel, global head of corporate social responsibility at LogMeIn, in celebrating the 20 employees who participated in the company’s first ever Mission Possible Global Service Trip. “This trip provided needed hands-on work for projects that make a wanted and needed lasting impact, for example, repairs to a Preschool Nutrition Center in Peña Blanca,” she said.
Evan Harvey, director of corporate responsibility for Nasdaq, published an article, SDG Awareness and Action - A Report From the Global Exchange Community, which examines the level of SDG awareness, action, and efficacy within the global exchange community. “We found that awareness and valuation of the SDGs is nearly universal, yet actionable progress is not being measured,” he said.
