The Anthropocene requires significant shifts and innovation in policy as well as human action and behavior. While much research attention has focused on society and policy makers, we know significantly less about how businesses exercise agency as part of Earth System Governance such as their contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Concerns are mounting over how large corporations are being governed and how businesses generally should operate in the Anthropocene. In this Perspective, we outline three potential high-impact areas for interdisciplinary research: (1) integrating global goals into corporate target-setting; (2) integrating global goals into codes of corporate governance; and (3) integrating global goals into new business models. We argue that understanding the role that corporate actors play in Earth System Governance is of vital importance to ensure efforts and outcomes are effective and equitable.

公司参与者，联合国可持续发展目标与地球系统治理：研究议程

人类世需要重大的转变和政策创新以及人类的行动和行为。尽管许多研究注意力都集中在社会和决策者上，但我们对企业如何行使代理作为地球系统治理的一部分（例如它们对联合国可持续发展目标的贡献）的了解却少得多。人们越来越关注大型公司的治理以及企业在人类世通常应如何运作。在此观点中，我们概述了跨学科研究的三个潜在的高影响领域：（1）将全球目标整合到公司目标设定中；（2）将全球目标纳入公司治理守则；（3）将全球目标整合到新的业务模型中。
