Design for Good Trustee Sandy Speicher joins UN water and sanitation event

World leaders in sustainable development will gather at the United Nations headquarters in New York on 17 July 2023 to discuss ongoing efforts towards achieving United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation (SDG 6).

This Water Action Agenda Special Event aims to mobilise action across countries, sectors and stakeholders to meet global water and sanitation-related goals and targets.

Sandy Speicher, a trustee of Design for Good and the former CEO of design and consulting firm IDEO, will be presenting at this prestigious event as part of a panel discussion about innovation. Speicher will bring invaluable insights and expertise, speaking about the innovations that have been developed by members of Design for Good that directly impact SDG 6.

The Water Action Agenda Special Event widens the theatre of action away from just governments and development organisations to include global corporations – recognition that governments alone cannot achieve these audacious goals, and the private sector is a necessary partner. Design for Good is the only private-sector alliance that is directly focused on impacting the UN SDGs.

Speicher's participation in the commitments event is a significant milestone for Design for Good, highlighting the innovative solutions developed by its members.
