Swiss Global Compact Partnership

Proyecto terminado

The private sector has a central role to play in the achievement of the 2030 Agenda through joint action with other stakeholders. The consolidation of the Global Compact Network Switzerland (GCNS) is an important gateway for the SDC in Switzerland to strengthen the implementation of responsible and sustainable business practices by the highly internationalized Swiss private sector, particularly in developing countries and fragile contexts, and to promote its contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

El proyecto en breve
Contexto Corporate Social Responsibility approaches and Responsible Business Conduct frameworks abound, as do the commitments made by businesses to the SDG. Yet the implementation and the impact of sustainable business practices are not straightforward, and in spite of public pressure, a lot remains to be explored and done by the private sector. In Switzerland, public-private platforms such as the GCNS are are highly valuable to promote sustainable business more broadly, to stimulate the dialogue and provide tools to businesses to effectively engage on a pathway to sustainability. This is particularly relevant to poorer and vulnerable populations in developing countries, which are disproportionatly affected by negative impacts of business operations or undue practices in global value chains.
Objetivos The implementation of responsible and sustainable business practices reduces negative impacts and enhances positive effects of Swiss business, notably on poorer and vulnerable population groups in developing contexts.

Resultados de las fases anteriores:
