THE 17 CAMPAIGN

Visionary Leaders willing to champion a goal for the sake of humanity.
THE FACES BEHIND THE GOALS

WHO WE ARE.

People relate to familiar faces rather than corporate facades. That’s why we have started a movement to add humanity to the story of sustainability.
“The 17” Campaign pairs influencers with the causes they are most passionate about, turning them into ambassadors for the Sustainable Development Goals. These iconic figures inspire us all to choose a goal of our own and proclaim #IAM.

INNOVATION & INFRASTRUCTURE

Our imagination is the only limit to what we can achieve so dream so big that everyone thinks you are crazy. It’s now possible for an individual or a small group of people to do things that were only possible by superpowers before.

RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION

I believe that by choosing clothes that are responsibly made, you make a statement about what you value, one purchase at a time. It’s a small act, but one that changes the way business is done. Your choice has power.

GENDER EQUALITY

When my family said they had to sell me and i had to get married, I couldn't breathe. I couldn't speak. The world is full of girls with bright minds and big hopes. Imagine what could happen if their true value was seen, and everyone, both boys and girls could work to make their dreams come true.
