The Inner Development Goals organization (IDG) was developed in response to the fact that progress on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) isn’t happening fast enough, and is based on the idea that inner development is needed to achieve a more sustainable future. In this episode of Bloomberg Intelligence’s ESG Currents podcast, Jan Artem Henriksson, executive director of IDG, joins BI’s director of ESG Research Eric Kane to discuss how the IDG framework was developed and the five dimensions and 23 skills that are included. They also chat about companies that are using IDGs and how the approach can help with progress on key topics, including diversity, equity and inclusion.
