[ where is it ]
The Southern Business Challenge (SBC) is a new international network
of progressive companies and entrepreneurs from developing countries seeking
to advance action towards sustainability and social justice at major international
policy fora. The SBC will be launched at the World Summit on Sustainable
Development in August 2002 in South Africa.
The network has been initiated by the India and UK-based Centre for Social
Markets to bring the energy and perspectives of progressive economic constituencies
from developing countries into international policymaking. All SBC Members
are committed to the triple-bottom line approach - people, planet and
profit - and the four principles of sustainable development, social justice,
personal ethics and corporate integrity.
Our associates include Ashoka: Innovators for the Public, the African
Institute for Corporate Citizenship, and the Prince of Wales International
Business Leaders Forum. The SBC is sponsored by the Heinrich Boell Foundation
and the Dutch Ministry for Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment
(VROM).
Come and meet SBC members from Asia, Africa and Latin America and learn
about this dynamic new network - and how we can jointly help create a
more responsible business environment for sustainable development.
