September 25th marks the ninth anniversary of the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 193 UN member states. The #SDGs call for global collaboration between governments, businesses, and civil society to deliver a powerful vision for improving our world by 2030. Organizations around the world will raise the SDG flag to show their support for the SDGs 🌎 This photo features Jose Gabriel Espinoza from Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., Clare Francis from Thermo Fisher Scientific, Jessica McSweeney from Cosmo International Fragrances, and Fabiana Godinho McArthur from Thermo Fisher Scientific.
