Sustainable Business Can Unlock at Least US$12 Trillion in New Market Value

A new report from the Business & Sustainable Development Commission shows that the next decade will be critical for companies to open 60 key market “hot spots”, tackle social and environmental challenges, and re-build trust with society.

The flagship report, Better Business, Better World, asserts that sustainable business models could open economic opportunities worth at least US$12 trillion, create 380 million jobs a year, and unleash a step-change in growth and productivity by 2030.

“We need to show these ideas work not just in a report but on the business frontline,” said Dr. Amy Jadesimi, CEO of LADOL and a member of the Commission.

The Business and Sustainable Development Commission was launched at the World Economic Forum in Davos in January 2016. It brings together leaders from business, finance, civil society, labour, and international organisations, with the twin aims of mapping the economic prize that could be available to companies if the Global Goals are achieved, and describing how they can contribute to achieving them.
