41 Sustainable development: a world in which 9 billion people live well, within the limits of one planet by mid-century.

42 Agenda for action Helping individual companies to overcome the performance gap and to embed responsible business policies and practices into the core of their corporate strategy, operations and value chains Promoting pre-competitive collective action within specific industry sectors, geographies and value chains to drive scale and systemic impact Convening companies to be part of more systemic and large-scale multi-sector collaboration between business, government and civil society organizations Spreading innovation from key emerging markets Engaging with small and medium enterprises

43 Agenda for action Working with governments and advocating for progressive publicpolicy reforms Improving the financial enabling environment Partnering with business schools and universities Raising public awareness and spreading the practice of sustainable consumption Promoting a new vision for sustainable capitalism

44 COLLABORATION

45 sectoral collaborations and citizen movements leading the future SD agenda Perceptions of performance and potential for leadership are misaligned. National governments have been poor SD performers, but experts think they still need to play a leadership role. Conversely, top performers (e.g., NGOs, social entrepreneurs, and academics) are not expected to lead, perhaps due to their lack of institutionalized authority. Experts rate the private sector s SD performance as poor but would like to see more leadership from it, albeit subordinate to government. MLOs and IFIs are neither seen as good performers nor are they endorsed as leaders.
