SDG 8 covers decent work and economic growth: promoting sustained, inclusive economic growth, full employment, and decent work for all. With over 2,000 projects, this is the single largest category on Keys for Tomorrow, reflecting how broadly “decent work” spans fair labor practices, job creation platforms, ethical supply chains, and inclusive entrepreneurship support.
Because economic growth touches nearly every other goal, this category naturally overlaps with SDG 1 (no poverty), SDG 5 (gender equality), and SDG 10 (reduced inequalities). Expect a wide mix of company types, from workforce development nonprofits to B Corp-certified businesses built around fair employment.
What counts as an SDG 8 project? Organizations that create quality jobs, improve labor conditions, or build more inclusive and sustainable economic opportunity.
