Stakeholder Principles in the COVID Era

A statement from the World Economic Forum and business leaders pledging to apply 'stakeholder capitalism' during the COVID-19 crisis through specific commitments to employees, suppliers, consumers, governments, and shareholders, while continuing efforts toward the Paris climate agreement and UN Sustainable Development Agenda.

• Business leaders endorse five specific Stakeholder Principles in the COVID Era: protecting employee safety and adapting to new working conditions; securing shared business continuity with suppliers and customers; maintaining fair prices and commercial terms for essential supplies for consumers; offering full support to governments and society; and ensuring the long-term viability and sustained value for shareholders.
• The signatories commit to continuing their sustainability efforts without interruption to help achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Agenda and the Paris climate agreement.
