world business council for sustainable development (wbcsd)
WBCSD is the premier global, CEO-led community of over 200 of the world’s
leading sustainable businesses working collectively to accelerate the system
transformations needed for a net zero, nature positive, and more equitable
future. We do this by engaging executives and sustainability leaders from
business and elsewhere to share practical insights on the obstacles and
opportunities we currently face in tackling the integrated climate, nature and
inequality sustainability challenge; by co-developing “how-to” CEO-guides from
these insights; by providing science-based target guidance including standards
and protocols; and by developing tools and platforms to help leading businesses
in sustainability drive integrated actions to tackle climate, nature and
inequality challenges across sectors and geographical regions. Our member
companies come from all business sectors and all major economies, representing a
combined revenue of more than USD $8.5 trillion and 19 million employees. Our
global network of almost 70 national business councils gives our members
unparalleled reach across the globe. Since 1995, WBCSD has been uniquely
positioned to work with member companies along and across value chains to
deliver impactful business solutions to the most challenging sustainability
issues. Together, we are the leading voice of business for sustainability,
united by our vision of creating a world in which 9+ billion people are living
well, within planetary boundaries, by mid-century.
