To celebrate Open Data Day, Wikirate is hosting a hack day focused on shedding light on a topic that impacts us all: the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). You might be wondering, 'What are the SDGs, and why should I care?' The SDGs are a set of global goals established by the United Nations to address various challenges facing our world, such as gender equality, decent working conditions and climate change. Companies play a crucial role in contributing to these goals, but understanding their impact can be complex.That's where Wikirate comes in! We host a number of data sets on business contributions to SDGs 5 (Gender Equality), 7 (Clean Energy), 8 (Decent Work), and 13 (Climate Action).Now, we want your help in investigating this question: How do German companies measure up on the SDG scale?<ul><li>When: Wednesday, March 6th, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM (includes lunch and refreshments)</li><li>Where: Wikirate, Schliemannstraße 29, 10437 Berlin</li><li>Purpose: Ideate and collaborate together to collect, analyze, visualize or interpret this data, or even to improve Wikirate’s API.</li><li>What you need to bring: a laptop.</li></ul> <h3>About the event</h3>Anyone can attend, but people with an interest in corporate sustainability reporting and a passion for data will discover this session to be particularly valuable.
