Year: 2020
Type: book-chapter
Abstract: One for all!The first part of the famous musketeer motto seems to fit perfectly with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 17, "Partnerships for the Goals".While the sixteen goals before are directed towards concrete areas of action, SDG 17 serves as a convener and facilitator for all the other goals.This article offers a short introduction to SDG 17.In particular, it opens up a discussion on how different combinations of partnerships should be embedded in order to achieve the targets of SDG 17.Based on a literature review and the following chapter of this volume, we formulate implications for research and practice on the diversity of multistakeholder partnerships, the necessity of overarching norms, the importance of evaluation, and the value of trust and willingness to make partnerships work.xii Development Goals.Based on this case, we draw three main conclusions.First, industry foundations can be differentiated from other non-commercial structures emerging from companies (e.g., corporate foundations, collective corporate foundations, industry associations, and multi-stakeholder initiatives) by shifting toward a collective of stakeholders within a particular industry, instead of around a particular social issue.Second, industry foundations face challenges with regard to legitimizing their public benefit, as they are vulnerable to questions concerning whether they are truly operating to the public benefit or whether they are actually private interests in disguise.Third, one major potential of industry foundations is that those involved in them are part of the industry-they know the possibilities and limitations of the industry, and they are trusted by others within that industry.This type of foundation can thus serve as a "coalition of the willing", by bringing together front-runners who can actually accelerate change within an industry.
