Abstract
The research objective of this study is to understand the variability of SDG implementation by Sustainable HRM in the FMCG sector and the research question it aims to answer is “how and to what extent does SDG implementation by Sustainable HRM in the FMCG sector vary?”. Based on a literature review on Sustainable HRM and the SDGs, a semi-structured questionnaire was developed to interview Belgian sustainability experts. Sustainability reports and related materials published by ten FMCG organisations were also analysed to examine how they implement the SDGs by Sustainable HRM. This study uses stakeholder theory as a theoretical framework to guide the research. The results of the analysis show that organisations commonly adopt eight SDGs by Sustainable HRM and that it does not extensively vary across industries. Therefore, Human Resources form a valuable tool to achieve sustainability in a company. Further research is needed to compare how different sectors implement the SDGs by Sustainable HRM.
