Business in Society
Companies increasingly seek to address their impact on the societies where they operate, and need recognition and support from policy makers to continue to improve performance. That’s why we need:
Business input on policies dealing with global labor relations and healthcare challenges
• Focus on supporting the ILO’s work to improve capacity of national governments to implement and enforce labor laws
• Support multi-stakeholder initiatives to improve working conditions in supply chains to ensure that they work towards long-term effectiveness by demanding equal effort from all stakeholders
• Support consumer information and education initiatives, responsible marketing and advertising, product reformulation, and promotion of healthy lifestyles
