Business plays a key role in fulfilling the promises of sustainable development in many ways. Companies can integrate sustainability in their business and generate significant changes in recognizing their impact on the environment.The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a wide range of 17 integrated goals for the environment, society and economy adopted by the UN in 2015. Their fulfilment is a universal call for action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people will enjoy prosperity by 2030.Business have to understand the importance of SDGs and their connection with business goals. SDGs hold great possibilities, challenges and opportunities for businesses. Business should manage the environment burdened with huge global problems as uncertain energy costs, looming regulation on carbon emissions, access to raw materials, availability of natural resources etc.In this paper, at the beginning we are discussing latest overview of the world's SDGs implementation efforts. We continue with discussion how businesses can engage with SDGs framework to drive business growth and productivity while contributing to the better world envisioned in 2030 Agenda. In the conclusion, we synthesize findings and suggest recommendations to align business strategies with the SDGs.
The state of the environment has a significant impact on the quality of life. Citizens are becoming more aware of the benefits of a high-quality environment, from basic rights like access to clean water to aspects like creating a noise-free living and working environment with access to nature and green areas.Environmental quality indicators, environmentally responsible behaviour, and consumption of environmental services are used to evaluate quality of life. At the global level, various types of indicators that can be used to measure the quality of the environment that affects citizens' quality of life can be identified. These indicators are linked and provide an objective and precise criterion of the level of pollution and its impact on the quality of life of citizens.Air pollution awareness is a critical component of incorporating environmental indicators and improving citizens' quality of life. Although no relevant data or studies on the link between the citizens' quality of life as measured by environmental indicators in the Republic of North Macedonia over the last two years exist, some research conducted during this period indicates a lack of awareness of the issue of air pollution in the capital Skopje.
The digital transformation process includes people, tools, and processes, and it enables the use of digital evaluation, monitoring, and testing systems to automatically document and track the progress of every employee in the business. The need for educated and trained staff with modern knowledge and skills for digitization is dictated by new trends. Those skills are typically acquired through an informal education process, primarily through training. As a systematic and continuous process, in the shorter term, the digitization training improves the skills of the employees for the application of new sophisticated ways and opportunities for better and more efficient performance of the work at a specific workplace.The objective of this paper is to convey the significance and requirement of digitization in human resource management, with a focus on the need to conduct training for businesses in Republic North Macedonia. The paper analyses empirical data from surveys conducted on Macedonian businesses. The findings are sublimated in the concluding observations about the need to implement training for digitization of human resource management processes and their relevance for greater competitiveness of Macedonian businesses on the global market.
