Project Description
This book focuses solely on SDG#4: Quality Education. SDG#4 aims to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all, and this book provides insights into how businesses take action on the SDG through the work of their business.
Family businesses play an important role in achieving this. Businesses that have education at the core of their business model have promoted education for sustainable development, contribute to building a skilled workforce, build capacity in people and communities, create jobs through their business and finally focus on
inclusion to provide wider opportunities. Much research has been directed towards family businesses, but little attention has been directed to how a family business can advance sustainability and social impact using SDGs. This book provides case studies of family businesses that advance SDG#4 through their work.
