The 5th Responsible Business Forum on Sustainable Development will be held in Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, 22 – 24 November 2016. This year’s forum, the largest to date, will help companies better understand the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the opportunities in supporting governments to achieve them.
A series of 34 facilitated workshops will provide a deeper look into each of the 17 SDGs. Each SDG workshop will be held twice so that delegates can design their own RBF 2016 programme around the goals most relevant and critical to their business. Expert facilitators will introduce the goals with companies presenting case studies showing lessons from implementation. This will be followed by audience discussions around innovation and collaboration with other stakeholders.
As the first major Asia Pacific event to focus on business and Agenda 2030, RBF 2016 will provide insights to the many win-win opportunities for multi-stakeholder collaboration to deliver the global goals. With opening addresses by Lawrence Wong, Singapore’s Minister for National Development and Bambang Brodjonegoro, Minister for National Development and Planning, Indonesia, this year’s Forum is the most ambitious to date, with over 100 speakers, and more than 500 delegates attending from across the globe.
Leading global brands and companies will present their business case for SDG integration including GlaxoSmithKline, Coca-Cola, Unilever, H&M, Huawei, Herbalife Nutrition, ANZ Bank, Sodexo, Interface, Autodesk, City Developments Limited, KKR, Dow Chemical, Ericsson, ING Bank, Amcor, APRIL Group, DSM, Singtel, Syngenta, Microsoft and Facebook among many others.
