Business Call to Action Annual Forum 2015, NYC
Breakfast Session – September 24th, 2015, 8:30 – 9:45am

The new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) emphasize working with business to carry out an ambitious agenda for people, prosperity, peace and the planet. Some of the most innovative approaches to harnessing business for social impact have come from domestic companies and large corporates working to support domestic companies in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

An interactive breakfast panel discussion will explore the role of domestic inclusive businesses in delivering on the SDGs.

Speakers:

Keynote: Magdy Martínez-Solimán, Assistant Administrator and Director of the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS), UN Development Programme (UNDP)

  • Juan Sebastian Pardo Lanzetta, CEO, Credifamilia
  • Tafsir Awal, Director, Multomode Group & Lal Teer Seed Ltd.
  • David Croft, Global Sustainable Development Director, Diageo (tbc)
  • Piyush Jaju, CEO and Co-Founder, ONergy
  • Vimal Shah, CEO, Bidco Africa Ltd.

Moderator: Bhaskar Chakravorti, Executive Director of Fletcher’s Institute for Business in the Global Context (IBGC) and Council on Emerging Market Enterprises (CEME)

This breakfast session is taking place as part of the Business Call to Action’s Sixth Annual Forum which will run from 8.30am to 2.30pm in conjunction with the 70th  Session of the United Nations General Assembly and the  adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a framework for the private sector, development institutions and governments to renew and re-define their commitments to the new development agenda.
