The goal of this initiative is to have the regional legislative arm of the most developed state in Brazil to align its process with the environmental guidelines laid out by the new sustainable development goals (SDGs). The value proposition of our Front is to provide the strategic relationship capital to engage key stakeholders in supporting the SDGs in the state São Paulo.

The Front will mobilize key stakeholders to promote regional themed events based on the SDGs. Part of the generated knowledge will then become legislative propositions that are supported in social engagement. Our first event will be held on November 13, 2015, in São Bernardo do Campo, which is located in the metropolitan area of São Paulo. There will be a launching of the Parliamentary Front followed by a forum to discuss the role of regions in the implementation of the SDGs.

The Front will make its Social Report available and organize ad hoc working groups to facilitate technology transfer whenever requested.

We have adapted the AA1000 stakeholder engagement methodology and we have developed a balanced scorecard of the Environmental Parliamentary Front.

Key stakeholders of this initiative will include government agencies, businesses, and non-profit organizations committed to regionalization of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) in the municipal consortia of São Paulo State, Brazil.
