El B20, Business at OECD y la OIE publican un documento conjunto: «Para cumplir la Agenda de Sostenibilidad, hay que abordar los obstáculos a la liquidez y la productividad»
El B20, Business at OECD (BIAC) y la Organización Internacional de Empleadores (OIE) publican un documento conjunto sobre la Agenda de Sostenibilidad 2030 del G20 desde la perspectiva empresarial. El documento propone un marco innovador e inclusivo (una "hélice de crecimiento sostenible") que permitiría realizar proyectos ambientales y maximizar la sostenibilidad social (en inglés).
This publication focuses on economic growth, financial stability, and productivity within global and social boundaries. The joint paper calls on governments to support companies’ working capital by removing obstacles and cumulative burdens preventing them from accessing funds, which otherwise would impede the intended growth trajectory.
Commenting on the announcement, Shinta Kamdani, Chair of B20 said, “the objective of this work is to offer a simple, though powerful enabling mechanism that can allow firms to access and take full advantage of resources committed as part of the Sustainability Agenda while minimizing the burdensome and too often duplicative processes, therefore strengthening companies’ productivity”. Rick Johnston, Chair of Business at OECD, added,“ndeed, resources alone will be ineffective if firms face difficulties in accessing such funds due to high regulatory and transaction costs, long-dated inherent risks and fragmented ecosystems. Challenges are most palpable for Small and Medium Enterprises who appear to have been left behind in the agenda despite being the largest employer globally.” Roberto Suarez Santos, IOE Secretary-General added, “Improving firms' productivity in delivering the sustainability Agenda is a perfect case in point for concrete policy intervention to aid economic recovery while fostering progress towards the environmental targets: a win-win opportunity.”
Gianluca Riccio, Vice Chair of Business at OECD Finance Committee and lead author of the paper, said: , “Environmentally-led investments are the ideal opportunity to test innovative ideas to facilitate payments and working capital, making them more efficient throughout value chains, across both borders and sectors, which in turn can act as an enduring flywheel that sparks employment and knowhow, aiding social sustainability: in short, an inclusive and enduring Growth Propeller”.
