Goals House - Senior Associate (AM)
Goals House is a diverse community of internationally renowned activists, thinkers, political figures, business leaders, and entrepreneurs that come together at significant global moments throughout the year, united in a shared mission of driving progress to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.
Having launched the SDGs with the UN and Project Everyone in 2015, Goals House was founded in 2019 in Davos.
An ever-evolving community, our partners come together for a full programme of events – morning to night, throughout the year at leading global moments, in a unique space that is designed and built to facilitate collaboration, inspiration and impact in equal measure. During dinners, panels, talks, and nightcaps, we enable an environment for people to think differently to create new ideas, facilitate collaboration, and drive impact.
The ethos of Goals House is centred around Goal 17: Partnerships for Sustainable Development. We see this Goal as critical to creating solutions towards 2030. Goals House encourages partnerships through events and connectivity. Events are led by one, or more, members of our community but provide the opportunity for everyone in the room to have their say on the issue at hand. Through doing this, every person or group presenting an idea, a problem, or solution, has the opportunity to collaborate with others in the room.
The Team
Goals House, part of Freuds, is a diverse community of business and political leaders, activists, NGOs, and entrepreneurs that come together at significant global moments throughout the year, united in the shared mission of driving progress to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.
Freuds worked with Project Everyone and the UN to launch the SDGs in 2015. The Goals formed part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all UN Member States, to stimulate global action for peace and prosperity for people and the planet. In 2019, Goals House was founded at the World Economic Forum in Davos to drive collaboration and progress towards the SDGs among global leaders.
An ever-evolving community, Goals House now convenes multiple times a year to ignite conversations and connections in unique spaces across the world. Goals House continues to show up annually at the World Economic Forum in Davos and is established at other global moments including UNGA and New York Climate Week, Cannes Lions, and COP.
During dinners, panels, talks, and nightcaps, we enable an environment for people to think differently to create new ideas, facilitate collaboration, and drive impact. Together, Goals House works to embody and drive Goal 17 – Partnerships for the Goals.
