Business Action for Sustainable Development
On 29 October 2010, the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the World Business for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and the UN Global Compact announced the creation of Business Action for Sustainable Development 2012 (BASD 2012). Based on the idea that the role of business in sustainable development has greatly evolved since the Rio Conference on Sustainable Development in 1992, the aim of this coalition of business groups is to promote their engagement in the preparatory process of Rio + 20 by providing a platform for exchange of policy recommendations, business solutions and partnerships aiming to achieve sustainable development.
