On 14-16 February 2012 in New York City, KPMG International will host an invitation only Summit that will address one of the fundamental challenges of our time: driving sustainable business growth in a resource-constrained world. Business Perspective on Sustainable Growth: Preparing for Rio+20, organized in cooperation with the United Nations Environment Programme, United Nations Global Compact and the World Business Council on Sustainable Development, will provide business and policy leaders with an important forum to identify and prioritize key sustainability issues.

The summit will be opened by Ban Ki-moon, the UN Secretary-General and will feature prominent speakers including CEOs, leading policy makers from key governments from around the world and heads of international institutions, to help spark interactive debates and thematic discussions on the key challenges between business and political leaders.

Attendees will hear from distinguished speakers from the worlds of business, government, and academia who will cut through the complexity of the major challenges, share leading practices, and lend their informed perspectives to targeted industry panel discussions.  Importantly, participants will also enjoy opportunities to network with peers from other leading international organizations, as well as KPMG’s subject matter specialists and industry professionals from around the globe.

Outcomes of the summit, will be shared with the upcoming UN Rio+20 Conference held in June where world leaders plan to take stock of where we stand on the sustainability challenge. Both events aim to craft a forward looking agenda to focus on global green growth.
