Abstract: This study aims to explore the percei-ved progress in fulfilling the United Nations Sustaina-ble Development Goals (SDGs) at the national level. Using the data from 2022 and 2023 for 43 countri-es, sourced from the contributions of 3,690 national experts, we assess the perceived progress in areas critical to sustainable development, including social contribution, social responsibility, investor interests, economic opportunities for minority groups, envi-ronmentally conscious practices, energy efficiency, national cultural values towards sustainability, SDG-aligned business activities and government support for sustainability-focused businesses. The assessment covers twelve key aspects to determine the extent to which new and growing companies and the broader business and policy environment are aligned with the SDGs. The main objective is to identify trends, achi-evements and areas for improvement in integrating the SDGs into business operations and policy fra-meworks. Research methods include a quantitative analysis of the GEM database (Global Entrepreneur-ship Monitor, the world's foremost study of entrepre-neurship), comparative statistical analysis and trend evaluation to provide a comprehensive overview of the progress made between 2022 and 2023. This re-search is crucial to understanding the effectiveness of current strategies and identifying the need for further action to achieve the SDGs.
