SDG 1 No Poverty
There are currently over 700 million people, or 11% of the world’s population, who still live in extreme poverty and who lack access to basic needs such as health, education, and water. 70% of the global total of extremely poor people live in Southern Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, where majority of people live on less than $1.90 a day. The recent COVID-pandemic has pushed an additional 120 million back to extreme poverty in 2020.
One of the key UN targets is to reduce the number of people living in poverty (men, women and children of all ages) everywhere by at least half in 2030.

SDG 4 Quality Education
A good education is the foundation for a stable and productive life. However, access to quality education has remained a pressing challenge in many parts of the globe. in 2020, an additional 9% of children worldwide (or 101 million people) from grades 1- 8 have fallen below minimum reading levels, with the number now totaling 55% (584 million in 2020).It is crucial that we begin to address the increasing gaps in education, as the lack of learning opportunities can diminish the chance for these individuals to succeed throughout their lives and to contribute meaningfully to society.

SDG 5 Gender Equality
Women and girls represent half of the world’s population and therefore also half of its potential. While there has been progress in gender equality over the last few decades, the world is still not on track to achieve gender equality by 2030. One of the focuses of this SDG is to ensure the full and effective participation and equal opportunities of leadership of women. By introducing policies or initiatives to encourage more female employees to embark on intrapreneurship, businesses can reap benefits of higher economic productivity and stronger business growth in the long-term.
Project Introduction：
Design an intrapreneurship program and explain how your company would introduce initiatives to encourage potential female intrapreneurs to participate in this program.

SDG 12 Responsible Consumption and Production
Rapid global population growth has led to a surge in consumption and production of goods and services worldwide. However, the traditional models of consumption and production, which are fuelled using resources in the natural environment, have tended to drive economic growth at the expense of the environment and human health. We need to begin to re-evaluate how we can produce and consume more sustainably, or we may run out of resources for our future development.
Project Introduction：
Create a product based on the circular economy model and explain how you will use after-sales services to prevent waste production in your business.
