“从餐桌到世界”——7979吗哪食物银行与可持续发展目标
黄昏时分，厨房的灯亮了。米粒落入锅中，汤汁的香气慢慢弥散，正在准备的，是一顿简单却温暖的晚餐。 然而，在同一座城市的另一端，有人正盯着空荡荡的米缸，不知下一餐从何而来。
这不仅仅是一张餐桌的故事，更是一个全球性议题。粮食安全、社会关怀、资源分配与环境保护——它们彼此交织，影响着无数人的今天和明天。
在这样的背景下，企业、机构与社会越来越关注可持续发展，不仅追求经济利益，还注重对环境、社会和治理的责任。这正是 ESG 的核心—–Environmental（环境）、Social（社会）、Governance（治理）。它为企业提供了一套衡量标准，帮助检视自己在环境保护、社会影响和治理透明度上的表现。
与此同时，联合国提出的可持续发展目标（SDG，Sustainable Development Goals），为全人类设定了到 2030 年前要实现的 17 项宏大目标。如今，这套目标已成为全球社会的共同语言——企业用它来规划社会责任，政府用它来制定政策，非营利机构则用它来衡量影响力。
在这 17 项目标中，SDG 1（无贫穷）、SDG 2（零饥饿）、SDG 3（良好健康与福祉）、SDG 10（减少不平等）、SDG 17（促进伙伴关系），与 7979 吗哪食物银行 的使命密切相关。
从 ESG 的视角来看，7979 吗哪食物银行的工作同样可圈可点：
在 环境（E） 方面，我们与零售商、供应商合作，减少食物浪费，推广负责任消费，呼应 SDG 12（负责任消费与生产） 和 SDG 13（气候行动）。
在 社会（S） 方面，我们长期为经济困难家庭提供粮食援助，改善他们的健康与福祉，呼应SDG 1（无贫穷）、SDG 2（零饥饿）、SDG 3（良好健康与福祉）和 SDG 10（减少不平等）。
在 治理（G） 方面，我们建立透明、可审计的运作模式，跨界合作（企业、教会、非政府组织、政府），形成可信赖的援助网络，呼应 SDG 17（促进伙伴关系）。
如果从 SDG 的角度切入，可以精准呼应：
长期食物支援，
减轻贫困家庭
生活负担。
确保弱势群体
获得稳定、
充足的粮食。
减少营养不良风险，
缓解因经济压力

“From Dining Table To The World”, 7979 Manna Food Bank And SDG
The kitchen’s lights switched on as the sun set, and the aroma of rice boiling in the pot filled the space; what is happening here is the preparation of a simple dinner. However, in another part of this city, someone is staring at the empty rice pot, wondering when they will have the next meal.
This is not merely a story about dinner over a dining table, it is a global issue. Food security, social care, resources distribution and environmental protection – they are all interlink and affecting today and tomorrow.
Under such circumstances, corporations, organisations and societies are becoming more concerned about sustainable development. Besides pursuing financial benefits, it is also willing to bear the responsibility of governing the environment and society, i.e. the core of ESG – Environment, Social and Governance. It provides the corporation with a benchmark to assess its performance in environmental protection, societal impact, and transparency in management.
Simultaneously, the United Nations proposed the SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) for humankind to achieve 17 ultimate goals by 2030. At present, SDG has already become the common language for all earthlings. The corporations use it to plan for their social responsibility, the governments use it to draw policies, and the NGOs use it to check their impact towards the societies.
Among these 17 goals, SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequality), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) are all closely related to our Manna Food Bank ministry.
Looking from the ESG’s (Environment, Social and Governance) perspective, 7979 Manna Food Bank is quite commendable.
Under the E of Environment, when we work hand in hand with retail shops and suppliers to reduce food wastage and promote responsible consumption, it aligns with SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and SDG 13 (Climate Action).
As the S of Social, our long-term commitment to providing food aid to financially disadvantaged families, improving their health and welfare, perfectly corresponds with SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequality).
In terms of the G for Governance, we work with different sectors of society, such as corporations, churches, NGOs and government. We employ a model that is transparent and auditable, hence building a trustworthy relief network that again aligns with SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
When we approach from the SDG perspective, we can fine-tune our work and be more effective.
Long-term food aid to
reduce the burdens of financially disadvantaged families.
Ensuring that the financially disadvantaged families have stable and sufficient food supplies.
Reduce the risk of malnutrition and alleviate the physical and mental distress caused by financial pressure.
Care towards marginalised groups, such as the elderly,
physical disability or people living in isolated places.
Creating a platform for corporations, churches and charity organisations to
come together to share resources, achieving missions that are impossible to manage by itself.
Heartfelt thanks to all corporations, churches and individuals for your consistent support for the work of 7979 Manna Food Bank. Your participation not only changed countless numbers of families’ conditions at the dining tables, but it also left behind heart-warming footprints in our journey of pursuing the global SDG.
Every contribution symbolises a brick closer to realising SDG, which impacts not only one family but also contributes towards the promotion of sustainable development of a society. Starting from a bag of rice or a bottle of cooking oil, 7979 Manna Food Bank is already closely linked with the global SDG’ agenda.
Whether you are a corporation, church or individual, you can surely find your position in the journey of “From Dining Table to the World”. Because when we feed one hungry person, it not only changes one’s life, but we are moulding a more righteous, heart-warming, and sustainable world.
