Member of WBCSD

The WBCSD is a CEO-led organization of forward-thinking companies that galvanizes the global business community to create a sustainable future for business, society and the environment.

From its starting point in 1992 to the present day, the Council has created respected thought leadership on business and sustainability.

The Council plays the leading advocacy role for business. Leveraging strong relationships with stakeholders, it helps drive debate and policy change in favor of sustainable development solutions.

The Council provides a forum for its 200 member companies - who represent all business sectors, all continents and combined revenue of over $US 7 trillion - to share best practices on sustainable development issues and to develop innovative tools that change the status quo. The Council also benefits from a network of 60 national and regional business councils and partner organizations, a majority of which are based in developing countries.

By thinking ahead, advocating for progress and delivering results, the WBCSD both increases the impact of our members’ individual actions and catalyzes collective action that can change the future of our society for the better.

WBCSD membership is by invitation and we welcome expressions of interest from forward-thinking companies interested in joining forces with some 200 global companies driving action on sustainability in the next decade and beyond.

WBCSD membership provides the opportunity to:

• Strengthen your competitive advantage and tackle your most vexing sustainability challenges by developing and scaling-up innovative tools and solutions in a safe space with like-minded peers

• Break out of isolated sustainability initiatives with limited impact and join forces with leaders from across the globe to scale-up business solutions to key environmental and social issues

• Plug into a robust science-based sustainability agenda that will help you identify and prioritize the sustainability issues that are most critical to your business

• Gain privileged access to high-level global policy platforms and key collaborators such as the IFC, International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC), OECD, Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), UN Secretary General’s Office, The Natural Capital Coalition, World Bank or the World Resources Institute (WRI)

Member companies are represented on the Council by the CEO or board level executive. Council Members drive the strategic direction of WBCSD and of individual projects where they can join the boards. They are supported by a Liaison Delegate, usually a senior vice president or similar level executive and typically global head of sustainability.
