Counselling and mobilizing business leaders
A two-day consultation of business and industry, governments and civil society for Rio+20 entitled ?Realising Inclusive and Green Growth? attracted 300 participants, mostly business people from both developed and developing countries, on 11 and 12 April in The Hague, The Netherlands
Rio+20 Secretary-General Sha Zukang warmly invited business leaders to go to Rio to announce new green initiatives and to persuade the public and policy-makers ?that business and industry can help accelerate the pace towards sustainable development.? ?We count on you to persuade those companies that are less sensitized, that the sustainable development approach is also a smart business choice,? he also stressed.
Business and industry are one of the nine Major Groups working for sustainable development and playing an official consultative role in the Rio+20 process. The other one are women, youth and children, workers and trade unions, scientific and technological community, farmers, indigenous peoples, local authorities and NGOs.
