focus on strengthening the vital, symbiotic relationship between business and the lives and livelihoods of people - specifically in the areas of human security, economic prosperity and adaptation to climate change.
We use a proven methodology honed through practical in-country experience in connecting, catalysing, convening corporate and development partners and delivering best practice around sustainable business development
We shape new thinking on the role of business in society. We support our corporate partners by identifying critical development challenges ‘ahead of the evidence’ so as to mitigate associated risks and explore ways to create solutions through collaborative partnerships.
Unaligned to any political, partisan, or national interests, we provide an independent focus for companies to engage constructively with their stakeholders. IBLF is not a representative or trade organization; its standing and widely accepted role as a catalyst for business engagement comes from its brokering and facilitation skills.
We are global in terms of our membership, our network, our relationships, our presence and the issues we pursue and local in terms of delivering collective action on the ground.
We deliver creativity and a rigorous approach to cross-sector partnerships.
We convene and support business, governments & civil society leaders to increase the influence companies can have on development actors to bring about systemic change in sustainable development. We have a 20 year track record in providing the impetus, the platform, the global reach and the methodology for companies to pursue responsible business management and to contribute to sustainable development:
