    Naciones Unidas recomienda integrar y conectar entre sí los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) para el cumplimiento de la Agenda 2030. No obstante, diseñar una estrategia para alcanzar un determinado ODS que no genere una interacción negativa con otro objetivo es aún un reto. Este artículo propone el emprendimiento con sello B Corp como solución innovadora para contribuir a integrar los pilares de la sostenibilidad (económico, social, ambiental y gobernanza) y alcanzar los ODS de forma combinada. Para conseguir este objetivo, este artículo utiliza el caso de estudio de la empresa Farmidable con sello B Corp. El análisis de la información cualitativa y cuantitativa aportada por esta empresa permite concluir que el emprendimiento basado en el impacto posibilita la consecución integrada de varios ODS, al tomarse las decisiones estratégicas, de inversión y financiación sobre la base del trinomio rentabilidad – riesgo –impacto.

    To fulfil the 2030 Agenda, United Nations recommends connect the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) in an integrated way. However, designing a strategy to achieve a specific SDG without generating a negative interaction with another SDG is still a challenge. This paper proposes entrepreneurship with B Corp seal as an innovative solution to integrate the four pillars of sustainability (economic, social, environmental, and governance) and achieve several SDGs in a combined way. To do so, we study the case of Farmidable, who is already B Corp. The analysis of the quantitative and qualitative data from Farmidable allows us to conclude that entrepreneurship based on impact enables the integrated achievement of several SDGs, when the strategic, investment and financing decisions are made considering the profitability, the risk and the impact trinomial.
