Abstract: Abstract SDGs shows value which no one denies, and private companies can contribute to SDGs. Some of 17 goals are easy for companies to work on, while others have limitations for corporate activities. The goal which private sector is most actively contributing through Voluntary Initiatives is Climate Change (SDG 13). Voluntary Initiatives can contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions, but more important is the support of the adoption of climate change policies. ASEAN faces other social and economic issue, therefore Voluntary Initiatives need to be balanced, and the SDGs can be a useful tool for it. This paper analyses various Voluntary Initiatives and proposes how to improve them under ASEAN+6 cooperation.
