RGDATA Director General Tara Buckley attended the Responsible Business Forum which included a presentation on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Buckley told the Forum that independent convenience shopkeepers were ahead of the pack in delivering on SDGs in their businesses and in their communities. However, she said that one key priority now overshadows everything else for SME business owners and that is managing the hugely challenging cost of doing business and paying for wage increases imposed on them by Government.
