ICC Environmental Framework promoted in Rio

Created on Tuesday, 03 July 2012 08:02

ICC hosted the Creativity 4 Innovation Forum on 13 June in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The event, held on the sidelines of the United Nations Rio+20 conference on sustainable development, was open to the public and brought together a mix of speakers from senior corporate executives, thought leaders, entrepreneurs, government officials, media and other stakeholder groups.

Topics discussed included "The Rio Debate: Why green growth needs to be driven by business" and "Inspiring solutions for sustainable societies" and were followed by two experts panels on "Investment and financing for green growth" and "Greening the value chain" in the afternoon.

During the Rio+20 conference, ICC launched its Green Economy Roadmap, which lays out 10 conditions needed to drive growth in a carbon-restricted world and serves as a guide for business, policy makers and society toward achieving a green economy.

Members are encouraged to view this excellent resource as it brings together policy inputs from across ICC commissions. ICC's Environmental Marketing Framework was advocated and available both as a separate takeaway at the Creativity4Innovation event in Rio and as one of the practical inputs integrated into the roadmap.
