WBCSD

The World Business Council for Sustainable Development, or WBCSD, is a CEO based organization for companies to create a sustainable future for the business, society and the environment. Founded recently in 1995, it exclusively deals with business and its sustainable development. In the 1992 Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit, a forum called “Business Council for Sustainable Development” was created to show how the business community could achieve environmental protection with economic growth. As a result, the WBCSD was created as a merger and continues to advocate for progress and catalyzes collective action that can change the future for the better. For its members, the WBCSD offers businesses access to proven and workable solutions to sustainable development challenges. A unique feature of the WBCSD’s work is its sector projects, which are practical initiatives to work out how critical industries can meet sustainability challenges. The WBCSD’s Vision 2050 report calls for a goal for business to lay out a pathway in which nine billion people can live well, and within the planet’s resources by 2050.
