The City of Kitchener, in collaboration with the Waterloo Region Small Business Centre (WRSBC), hosts a free monthly speaker series called SDG Talks. The series explores the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and how we can create a more socially and environmentally sustainable planet. This year’s theme, Purpose and Profit, focuses on helping businesses embed sustainability into their core operations and strengthen their bottom line while creating meaningful community impact.
