Business Action for Sustainable Development is a comprehensive network of business organisations that have come together under one banner in the interests of sustainable development. BASD is a joint initiative of the International Chamber of Commerce and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development.

Supporters

The BASD initiative is jointly funded by the ICC and the WBCSD. Key sector associations have provided additional financial support to BASD. This support is a welcome demonstration of commitment to the campaign. It also ensures visibility for the many sectoral initiatives being developed for the Summit.

South African Business Co-ordinating Forum

The South African business community has established a co-ordinating forum
to facilitate a coherent approach to issues concerning the Summit. The forum functions under the auspices of the International Chamber of Commerce South Africa and works closely with BASD.

Guidance is provided by a small international Steering Committee under the leadership of Sir Mark Moody-Stuart.
