This roundtable discussion will shift the focus from diagnosis to action. It is widely acknowledged that responsible business practices require a supportive, efficient, and coherent policy ecosystem: an enabling policy environment that simplifies and streamlines expectations on business, incentivises leadership, avoids a race to the bottom, and promotes predictability and fair competition. The discussion will explore what incentives, capabilities and enabling policy environments are needed for responsible leaders to succeed - and for others to follow - and provide guidance on where international co-operation is needed the most in order to support this development.
These company perspectives will be complemented by insights from delegates, trade unions, and civil society during the roundtable discussion to help surface what is working in practice, what is not, and why - across different sectors and geographies. The discussion questions include:
• What is the role of RBC in overall corporate strategy? How is RBC helping resilience and competitiveness?
• What are the most important factors for achieving success? What happens when due diligence works and what are the barriers for achieving RBC objectives?
Format: This session will be a moderated roundtable discussion with multiple rounds of discussion. Following insights from business leaders, participants will be invited to provide their reflections and comment on key issues.
