THE AGENDA COMPASS 2030
Businesses, governments and civil society groups around the world are increasingly committed to achieving sustainability.
​
The Agenda 2030 Compass project has developed an innovative approach to understanding synergies and trade-offs between SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), to help decision-makers achieve the greatest societal benefit.
The 2030 Compass can be used in a wide range of settings and has been successfully tested in case studies involving product design, housing development, and local and regional strategies. Participating organizations, including start-up companies, consultants, and public sector entities, have shown a strong interest in continuing to use the tool. The project partners are currently setting up an organizational platform to make Compass more widely available.
OBJECTIVES
The project had several specific objectives:
• To build a robust, well-documented, and tested approach and platform (including a methodology, metrics, and a toolbox) for strategic decision-making about options to deliver societal benefit by contributing to the attainment of the SDGs;
• To develop an international network of expertise on the 17 SDGs and their targets and how they relate to one another, which, put together, can shed light on vicious and virtuous cycles in the implementation of Agenda 2030;
• To familiarise the Swedish steel industry and other interested parties in Sweden and abroad with the approach behind the Agenda 2030 Compass and its utility;
• To build awareness and competencies among all involved actors about the nature and utility of the SDGs; and
• To increase participants’ ability to apply the competencies they acquired through the project to their own processes.

The Agenda 2030 Compass project is the third stage of a collaboration between SEI and Swedish steel producers initiated by Jernkontoret (the Swedish Steel and Iron Producers’ Association) in support of the vision “Steel Shapes a Better Future” (Jernkontoret 2013).
Launched in 2013, the vision committed the industry to technical excellence, creativity and partnership, and resource efficiency, with the overarching goal of ensuring that “only products of value to the community leave our plants”
