Conference Overview

Whether the issue is climate change, economic growth, or accountability, multinational companies today are under unprecedented pressure to play their part in solving the major global challenges. Businesses are increasingly expected not only to create jobs, profits and new technologies, but also have positions on complex public policies. At the same time, critics see big business as the cause of many of the world's problems, and are concerned by what they see as the expanding influence of business on government policies.

This annual Chatham House conference, produced in partnership with FTSE, will bring together leading experts from business, civil society and government to discuss the challenges that will shape the 21st century. In particular, it will explore the outlines of a new agenda for business and its stakeholders to respond to increasing natural resource constraints, the need to promote human rights standards, and bring new technologies to market more quickly.
