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, and COP.

During dinners, panels, 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.
