What are five takeaways the World Business Counsel for Sustainable Development created in its “Action 2020” document?

What will be an ideal response?


1) Get business to buy into long-term goals for sustainability; 2) Change the nature of the debate from attacks and counterattacks on company sustainability initiatives to the science behind the need for sustainable business practices; 3) Speak the right language—the language of business. This means putting the information into the business cycle of “plan, do, check, act”; 4) Work toward building partnerships and collaboration because that is the only way to have a large-scale effect on the environment; 5) Make solutions “open source” and allow all entities who can benefit from them to use them.
