Building Sustainable Societies; Role of WBCSD

摘要

The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) aims to provide business leadership as a catalyst for change toward sustainable development, and to promote the role of eco-efficiency, innovation and corporate social responsibility. We believe that the pursuit of sustainable development is good for business and business is good for sustainable development. As a coalition of 180 international companies united by a shared commitment to sustainable development, our members are drawn from more than 35 countries and 20 major industrial sectors. We also benefit from a global network of 50 national and regional business councils and partner organizations involving some 1,000 business leaders globally. Nippon Keidanren is an active participant and supporter of the WBCSD as our partner organization in Japan, representing the Japanese business community. Our last Council meeting, held in Nagoya in June 2005, reflects the value of this partnership.
