3. The Post 2015 Development Agenda - The role of the private sector
The post-2015 agendaThe Millennium Development Goals MDGs have provided a focus for development cooperation (aid aid spending and national policy making) between developed and developing countries since 2000, across eight subjects. To expire in 2015. Progress has been patchy - there have been some successes but not all MDGs will be achieved by their 2015 deadline.Private sector was not consulted in the formulation of the original MDGs

5 Priority Transformative Shifts to Drive the post-2015 Development Agenda1. Leave No One Behind2. Put Sustainable Development at the Core3. Transform Economies for Jobs and Inclusive Growth4. Build Peace and Effective, Open and Accountable Public Institutions 5. Forge a New Global Partnership
Why is this important for the Private SectorThe business case for addressing the big social and environmental issues which confront humanity is compelling: - Product and service innovation- Cost savings- Security of raw material supply- Consumer confidence and loyalty- Licence to operateThe alternative – doing nothing – is a progressively more unstable social and environmental context which will make even the most basic business transactions hard to effect.
WHAT DOES UNILEVER WANT FROM A POST-2015 FRAMEWORK?Finish the job on the MDGs - “end poverty in our time”Poverty can only be eradicated if “planetary boundaries” are respectedWithin these planetary boundaries we must provide: - Secure supplies of nutritious food - Clean drinking water and basic hygiene/sanitation - Sustainable Energy for all - Access to healthcare - Freedom from climate related disastersGoals clearly defined, few in number, measurable. clear language
