WBCSD
The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) is a CEO-led, global association of some 200 companies dealing exclusively with business and sustainable development. The WBCSD, which has its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, was founded on the eve of the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, and today comprises some 200 members drawn from more than 35 countries and 20 major industrial sectors, involving some 1,000 business leaders globally. The purpose of the WBCSD is to provide a platform for companies to explore sustainable development, share knowledge, experiences, and best practices, and to advocate business positions on these issues in a variety of forums, working with governments, non-governmental, and intergovernmental organizations. WBCSD is funded by its members, which include PricewaterhouseCoopers, Toyota, Duke Energy Corporation, and the International Chamber of Commerce.
Working Method
The Council meets annually to decide on the organization's priorities and discuss strategic issues connected to sustainable development. These meetings provide a forum where business leaders can analyze and debate views and experiences on all aspects of sustainable development.
