Goals / Remit
The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) is a CEO-led organization of forward-thinking companies that galvanizes the global business community to create a sustainable future for business, society and the environment. Through its members, the Council applies its respected thought leadership and effective advocacy to generate constructive solutions and take shared action to drive business action on sustainability in the coming decade and beyond. The WBCSD aims to be the leading voice of business that will support companies in scaling up true value-added business solutions and in creating the conditions where more sustainable companies will succeed and be recognized.
Members work together across sectors, geographies and value chains to explore, develop and scale up business solutions to address the world’s most pressing sustainability challenges. Through our work to change the rules of the game and drive measurable impact, WBCSD is emerging as the leading and most compelling sustainable development business voice with multilateral institutions such as the United Nations, World Bank, UNFCCC, as well as with global platforms like the UN Climate Summit and COP negotiations.
The WBCSD is unique because its output is developed and road tested by its members. Its comprehensive work program enables it to cover all aspects of sustainable development in business. To deal effectively with all issues the work program is divided into six Action2020 Clusters , sector and value chain projects, systems solutions and capacity building.
We also benefit from a Global Network of 65+ independent national and regional business councils and partner organizations, involving thousands of business leaders, two-thirds in developing countries and emerging economies.Main EU files targeted
