Samsung Global Goals app (SGG) has added some features to encourage friends and family to work together to advance the Global Goals and track one’s progress.

The SGG has raised about $ 10 million in just a few months ago to help United Nations Development Program (UNDP) promote resilience and accelerate progress for the 17 Global Goals.

The SGG app has been a powerful way for the Galaxy community to work together in support of the Global Goals.

Samsung hopes the Donation Leaderboard will help continue this momentum by offering a new, fun, interactive way for the Galaxy community to contribute to the Goals that mean the most to them. To date, Galaxy users have directed the most donations toward Goal 2: Zero Hunger, followed by Goal 1: No Poverty and Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation.

Small actions can lead to a large impact. As citizens of the planet, all people have a responsibility to take care of the Earth.

This is why in 2019, Samsung Electronics partnered with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) to launch the Samsung Global Goals (SGG) app. The SGG app allows the Galaxy community to donate directly to the Global Goals, use lock screens to increase ad-earnings and generate funding by watching advertisements in the app.

The SGG app helps users learn more about the Global Goals and contribute funding to the Goals that mean the most to them.

Through a newly released app feature, the Donation Leaderboard, Samsung is opening new opportunities for the Galaxy community to get engaged with the Global Goals. By creating a ranking system for donations, the Donation Leaderboard is energizing users to donate to the Goals, track donation progress; and encourage friends, family and other Galaxy users to do the same.

Samsung is committed to using the power of technology to provide opportunities for the Galaxy community to take action in support of the Global Goals.

The Global Goals, established in 2015, are a collection of 17 goals that world leaders agreed to achieve by 2030. These goals have the power to stop climate change, fight inequality, end poverty, among other pressing global challenges.
