About Goals House

Goals House is a diverse community of business and political leaders, activists, NGOs, and entrepreneurs that come together at significant global moments throughout the year, united in the shared mission of driving progress to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. Freuds worked with Project Everyone and the UN to launch the SDGs in 2015. The Goals formed part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all UN Member States, to stimulate global action for peace and prosperity for people and the planet. In 2019, Goals House was founded at the World Economic Forum in Davos to drive collaboration and progress towards the SDGs among global leaders. An ever-evolving community, Goals House now convenes multiple times a year to ignite conversations and connections in unique spaces across the world. Goals House continues to show up annually at the World Economic Forum and is established at other global moments including UNGA and New York Climate Week, Cannes Lions, London Climate Week and COP. During dinners, panels, roundtable talks, and nightcaps, we enable an environment for people to think differently to create new ideas, facilitate collaboration, and drive impact. Together, Goals House works to embody and drive Goal 17 – Partnerships for the Goals.

The Team

We are a team of around 20, based in London, made up of communications and events specialists who are united in the aim of driving solutions, partnerships, and impact towards the UN’s SDGs. We work with our partners and network throughout the year to ignite conversations and connections that drive progress to achieve the SDGs in unique spaces across the world. During dinners, panels, talks, nightcaps, roundtables and more, we bring together a diverse cross-sector of global partners, speakers, and guests to think differently and find innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing issues – from climate change, financial inclusion, to health emergencies and gender equality. Our success comes from creating impact and driving change to achieve the SDGs. The organisations welcomed to Goals House understand that they have a role to play in changing the world.
