ACTIVITIES
Our vision is a world in which companies address social development issues as part of their core business operations, and where economic and social development is achieved more effectively and sustainably because of the full participation of business.

Programmes

IBLF has five key programmes, which tackle specific development challenges such as youth unemployment, the digital divide and chronic diseases. Each of these programmes has its own microsite with more information, resources and news.

Business Standards

At the base of IBLF's approach to responsible business is enabling business to understand and respond to the development challenges that they face when operating in transition and emerging economies.

more

Leadership

Working with the world's top business and development leaders is a vital part of IBLF's strategy. IBLF's Crossing Borders initiative is a key way in which the organisation engages leaders in development challenges.

Partnerships

Organisations can achieve their goals more effectively through working together rather than by working alone. IBLF helps businesses, NGOs and governments work together through partnerships.

more

Networks

Through the creation and development of networks, such as the Alcan Prize for Sustainability or ENGAGE, IBLF is able to raise the profile of its goal of putting business at the heart of sustainable development.

more

Youth

Creating meaningful employment for young people is one of the greatest long-term challenges faced by business and society today. IBLF works with businesses in a range of ways to improve opportunities for young people.
