Our current global system is not fit for purpose, and in many instances it's on the brink of collapse. Business has a vital role in ensuring we transform our relationship with both society and the environment. Global challenges must be tackled collectively with global solutions, that can be adapted to local resources and capabilities. Leading to a new sustainable future requires businesses to re-think parts, if not all, of their business. We need new definitive actions, new ways of collaborating and open innovation among all stakeholders.

Business must lead on the principles of resilience, sustainability and equality. At the Responsible Business USA join CEOs, Chief Sustainability Officers, Investors and Government representatives on rebuilding for a sustainable, just future
