Upcoming Webinar: Responsible Business Forum on Sustainable Development, October 21

The Business Call to Action cordially invites you to participate in the webinar discussion organized by the Global Initiative and Business for Millennium Development (B4MD), taking place on Wednesday, 21 October 2o15.

World leaders have recently adopted 17 new goals to guide global sustainable development over the next 15 years. These social, economic and environmental goals were developed in close coordination with the private sector, providing great opportunity for collaboration with business in their delivery. This coming 4 November, the 4th Responsible Business Forum on Sustainable Development in Singapore will introduce these SDGs, with examples of commitments to be presented by leading global companies, together with speakers from governments, NGOs and the investment community.

In preparation for the upcoming RBF, this webinar will provide an introduction to the post-2015 SDGs with some discussion with speakers around the six themes for the SDGs: Dignity, prosperity, justice, partnership, planet and people, and the role that business can play in Asia in committing to these goals.

The key outcomes of this webinar will help form the basis of the discussions to be held at the Responsible Business Forum. There's only a few seats left, so if you haven’t secured your tickets yet and would like to join, you can register here.
