YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Aligning SDG priorities across a fragmented policy landscape
- US SDG action spans federal, state and local systems, while the country ranked 46th of 167 economies in the 2024 SDG Index, complicating alignment.
- Against this fragmented backdrop, YCP maps regulatory, stakeholder and business priorities into a practical SDG roadmap with clear ownership and milestones.
Turning dispersed ESG data into decision-ready SDG metrics
- Companies often hold environmental and social data across disconnected systems; inconsistent boundaries and definitions make progress against SDG targets hard to verify.
- YCP helps establish material KPIs, data governance and reporting processes, translating dispersed information into credible SDG-linked management insight.
Decarbonizing operations while protecting business resilience
- US greenhouse-gas emissions remained about 17% below 2005 levels in 2022, leaving major reductions needed as energy costs, grid limits and climate risks persist.
- YCP connects emissions baselines with operational and investment choices, helping teams prioritize feasible reduction levers while strengthening resilience.
Embedding equity and responsible supply chains in growth plans
- Despite economic gains, 11.1% of the US population lived in poverty in 2023, and supply-chain scrutiny is increasing across labor, sourcing and community impacts.
- YCP integrates social-impact goals into sourcing, workforce and market strategies, enabling companies to manage risk and create measurable shared value.
