IIED’s work on Business and Sustainable Development uses research projects, partnerships and capacity-building initiatives to build an understanding of where and how business can best contribute to sustainable development in middle and low income countries. We currently work on four topics:
All of our work reflects IIED’s longstanding concern to make sure that the interests of stakeholders based in middle and low-income countries have a real impact in shaping responsible business practices for sustainable development. We also place particular emphasis on the public policy underpinnings of responsible business practice and corporate accountability. This is illustrated by our work on 'Public Sector Roles' IIED’s work on business and sustainable development has focused on natural resource-based sectors. We have particular expertise within the team on food and agriculture, energy and extractive industries. We also often draw in wider sectoral expertise through collaboration with IIED colleagues working on tourism and on forestry and land use. IIED staff are also active advocates in the broader agenda for change related to business and sustainable development.
