Achieving UNSDG Goals Through Humanistic Practices: The Case of Good-Ark Electronics Corp. Ltd. in China

Many business companies have responded to UNSDG Goals since they were announced in 2016. However, most of the studies talked in principle or theory. Few have presented specific practices to fulfil the goals. Given the fact that business organizations are the backbones of the society, the chapter introduces the specific practices a Chinese company developed to build itself into a happy enterprise, as an example to show how an individual company can help directly contribute to the fulfilment of the 17 SDG Goals. Good-Ark Electronics Corp. Ltd. set up its mission to benefit mankind in 2009. It was to fulfil its mission; the company developed the eight modules and later realized that they could be directly related to the 17 SDGs. The chapter also explains the critical role the company’s family-like company culture played in designing humanistic practices, as well as the specific ways the eight modules are implemented. We hope the chapter will offer inspiration for sustainability research as well as insights for business leaders who are interested in contributing to the fulfilment of the UNSDG goals.
