“Sustainable, inclusive growth requires that companies place our Ten Principles on human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption at the core of all business decisions,” says Sanda Ojiambo, the founder of the UN Global Compact. (Photo: UN Global Compact)

Countries in Asia and Oceania have the potential to lead the global business community in advancing sustainable and inclusive development, says the founder of the UN Global Compact (UNGC).

The key to success will be a concrete and resilient financial framework that can support the transition towards green business in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, Sanda Ojiambo said at a conference in Bangkok.
