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
We are a team of around 20, based in London, made up of communications and events specialists who are united in the aim of driving solutions, partnerships, and impact towards the UN’s SDGs.
We work with our partners and network throughout the year to ignite conversations and connections that drive progress to achieve the SDGs in unique spaces across the world. During dinners, panels, talks, nightcaps, roundtables and more, we bring together a diverse cross-sector of global partners, speakers, and guests to think differently and find innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing issues – from climate change, financial inclusion, to health emergencies and gender equality.
Our success comes from creating impact and driving change to achieve the SDGs. The organisations welcomed to Goals House understand that they have a role to play in changing the world.
