The Role of Business in Emerging Markets
If companies were a country, they would rank as the seventh largest provider of overseas development assistance in the world, ahead of Sweden. Businesses are helping less developed countries gain access to new technologies, microfinance and capital investment, develop their workforce, improve customs automation, improve operating standards, and develop new economic clusters and adjacent markets.
The Role of Business in Emerging Markets examines how global CSR strategy goes farther than before, encompassing a broader portfolio and serving as the connective tissue between business growth and healthy communities.. This report is the fourth in BCLC's series "The Role of Business."
