Abstract

This paper explores the complex interconnections between the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through a system dynamics approach, integrating data analytics to establish a holistic framework for advancing global sustainability. By using stock and flow diagrams, this approach helps in visualizing the intricate relationships among SDGs, offering insights into how progress in one area can directly impact others. The proposed model illustrates how critical factors—such as poverty alleviation, economic growth, environmental preservation, and social well-being—are interdependent, providing a comprehensive understanding of how sustainable development can be optimized across multiple sectors. From a theoretical perspective, leveraging system dynamics and data-driven insights, the study presents a framework that supports informed decision-making and promotes long-term sustainability across economic, social, and environmental domains. From a managerial perspective, the study shows how an analytics-driven approach enables organizations to transcend mere compliance, contributing to value creation that serves both societal goals and corporate interests. Data-driven decision-making, powered by real-time and historical insights, equips policymakers and stakeholders to anticipate outcomes, refine strategies, and drive collaborative sustainable progress. Ultimately, data analytics offers a pathway to align sustainable growth with business resilience, positioning companies as catalysts of positive change in an interconnected world.
