The promotion of sustainable enterprises
This report for the 2007 session of the International Labour Conference is a contribution to the broad and wide-ranging international debate on the promotion of enterprise. The central role of the private sector, in all its forms, is increasingly recognized as key to development challenges including employment creation. The report
takes stock of the developments and experiences from a decent work perspective, with
particular emphasis on how to strengthen the contribution of enterprises to productive and equitable economic and employment growth. The report will inform the general discussion, the intended outcomes of which are:
- a stocktaking of the international debate on the role of the private sector and sustainable enterprise in overall social and economic development;
- an assessment of the relevance and implications of recent trends for the implementation of the ILO’s Decent Work Agenda;
- an ILO contribution, centred on the Decent Work Agenda, to the global debate on the role of the private sector in overall social and economic development;
- recommendations for ILO work to enhance coherent policies and strategies that promote decent work through sustainable enterprise development.
