Good Practices are Linked S. Goldenberg An integrated approach is often the most effective strategy for business sustainability and competitiveness

What do enterprises need to effect that transition? • Transparent and clear policy guidance • Workers with the right skills • Access to new technologies and research • Technical support • Resources & Financing

Sustainable enterprises A sustainable enterprise operates a business so as to be viable, grow and earn a profit. Sustainable enterprises recognize the economic and social aspirations of people inside and outside the organization on whom the enterprise depends, as well as the impact on the natural environment ILC 2007

GBA - Enterprise Component • Development and pilot testing of practical tools and resources to help enterprises adopt more sustainable and responsible practices • Main target: medium-size hotels (Thailand) + SMEs in the auto sector (Philippines ) • Pilot locations: Phuket (Thailand) + Calabarzon (Philippines)

Mechanics of the Initiative • MNE / supply chain leader – act as a champion • Engage supply chain members towards core values and principles
