Policymakers and the business community should ramp up collaboration and demonstrate renewed leadership in order to achieve sustainable and equitable growth objectives, according to recommendations released today from KPMG’s “Business Perspective on Sustainable Growth: Preparing for Rio+20″ global summit. Summit attendees agreed to the recommendations as part of the meeting’s goal of providing business input to Rio+20, the upcoming global policy summit in June.
Yvo de Boer, KPMG’s Special Global Advisor on Climate Change and Sustainability said: “Today’s leaders are struggling with complexity. Until now, we found global trends on energy, water security and food scarcity complex enough. The convergence of other forces such as population growth, deforestation and a surging middle class is impacting business and the world around us. Leaders are overwhelmed by the sheer scale of these problems and struggling to act. There are ways to solve these problems, and that includes harnessing the capacity of business.”
“I am encouraged by the exchange of ideas at this Summit from business leaders who are not going to wait. In fact, they are already moving ahead with sustainable solutions. That said, even active leaders with sustainable business practices will run into problems if the policy framework does not create the right investment conditions.”
