• Mr. Anthony Ling, Chief Investment Officer, Goldman Sachs

This session explores two critical and increasingly related issues: responsible business action and value creation.

First, the Global Compact will present key findings from its Annual Review - marking the initiative's most extensive benchmarking exercise to understand how, to what extent, and why participants are implementing the Global Compact principles. Then, Goldman Sachs will release its ground-breaking ESG (environmental, social, governance) investment framework, supporting the notion that leadership on these issues is increasingly essential to achieving and sustaining market leadership. The framework, which includes a detailed analysis of several industry sectors, uses the Global Compact principles as a key reference.

Following these presentations, participants will engage in roundtable discussions to share their own experiences and perspectives on responsible engagement and value creation. Questions to be discussed include:

• What has your experience been with implementation of the Global Compact and its principles? Has it added value? If so, how?
• Looking into the future, what is your advice to improve the implementation and value of the Global Compact principles: at the Corporate level? through collaborative / partnership initiatives?

Responding To Megatrends - Shaping The Future

Plenary Presentations

• H.R.H. Prince El Hassan bin Talal of Jordan
• Mr. Jeremy Hobbs, Executive Director, Oxfam International

For an increasing number of companies, integrating universal principles into business strategy and operations is no longer an option, but a management imperative. Responsible business practices can drive long-term competitiveness while contributing to a more sustainable and inclusive world economy. At the same time, it has become clear that any business response to today's challenges and opportunities requires a deeper understanding of key socio-economic and political trends. In its first comprehensive worldwide survey of CEOs on the topic of business and society, McKinsey & Company will present new findings on the global megatrends that are shaping the leadership agenda. Prepared exclusively for the Leaders Summit, this survey will include CEO perspectives on a range of environmental, social and governance issues; an examination of the crucial links to boardroom decision-making and subsidiaries; and a discussion of the unique role that the UN Global Compact can play in the future landscape. The survey's results - representing the latest in leadership intelligence - will offer a blueprint for strategic planning both in terms of individual and collective action.

Following these presentations, participants will engage in roundtable discussions to share their own experiences and perspectives on megatrends affecting business. Questions to be discussed include:

• According to your view, what are the three most important environmental, social and governance megatrends? How do they affect your business or organization?
• What are the three key actions business leaders and corporate decision-making bodies can take to ensure that these issues are more effectively translated into strategies, polices and operations - within a company, its subsidiaries and throughout the supply chain?

In fact, both individual and collective action will be required if tangible progress is to be achieved. How can the implementation of human rights policies and practices, decent workplace conditions, climate change solutions, anti-corruption initiatives and UN-business partnerships for development create business value? What are the key challenges to the development of effective policies and practices in these areas? This session will lay the foundation for the parallel discussions which will follow.

10:00-10:30 Transfer to break-out rooms

10:30-12:00 Session 4:

Getting Down To Business

Roundtable discussions in parallel sessions will help to achieve stronger focus on key issues and facilitate bringing both individual and collective solutions to scale and greater impact.

Parallel session 1:

Human rights

• Chair Ms. Kyung-wha Kang, Deputy High Commissioner, Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR)
• Ms. Mary Robinson, President, Realizing Rights: The Ethical Globalization Initiative
• Mr. Mads Ovlisen, Chairman of the Board, Lego Group

The countdown to the 60th anniversary of the 1948 signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights has begun. The commemoration provides a unique opportunity to consider progress made thus far and to look into the future at what remains to be done. The Leaders Summit's Human Rights Session will capitalize on this occasion to stimulate business leaders to make stronger commitments to implement human rights within their corporate practices. This interactive roundtable session has a focus on the leadership roles that CEOs can play in respecting and promoting human rights. Consistent with the Global Compact's approach to human rights, it will emphasize the business case for human rights as well as the fact that respect for human rights is the right thing to do. It will elicit examples of leadership on human rights and how respecting human rights can be an opportunity and not a threat. There will also be a focus on critical dilemmas for companies and the practical tools that are available to help solve them. The outputs of the discussions will help shape the Global Compact's human rights work programme over the next three years.

Questions to be discussed include:

• What are the new issues and opportunities for business as we move to the 60th anniversary of the UDHR?
• How can all stakeholders in the GC work to ensure that voluntary human rights initiatives deliver on their promises?
• How can business play an active role in the development of better governance, as a means of strengthening overall human rights frameworks?
• How can Human Rights Impact Assessments be more effective and applied more widely?

Parallel session 2:

Labour

• Chair Mr. Juan Somavia, Director-General, International Labour Organization (ILO)
• Mr. Thomas Wellauer, Head Corporate Services, Member of the Executive Management Team, Novartis International
• Mr. Roland Conus, Member of the Executive Committee, International Federation of Chemical, Energy, Mine and General Workers' Unions (ICEM), and Trade Union Officer of UNIA, Switzerland
• Mr. Guy Ryder, General Secretary, International Trade Union Confederation
• Mr. Antonio Peñalosa, Secretary-General, International Organization of Employers

The question of how companies address workplace issues across a range of jurisdictions, regulatory schemes and market conditions has been steadily growing in importance. This labour session will focus on the most pressing issues facing businesses as they confront these challenges, including incorporating the Global Compact's labour principles into supply chain management. Participants will focus on how business leaders can develop practical solutions in their relations with employees and labour organizations that maximize the benefits to all parties. The multi-stakeholder nature of the session, involving both business and labour leaders, will ensure that the discussion focuses on solutions that can be operationalized in the real world.

Questions to be discussed include:

• What are the benefits you are experiencing and the challenges you are facing in implementing the labour principles in your supply chain?
• What support would be useful to you in implementing the labour principles in your supply chain?

Parallel session 3:

Climate Change and Environmental Responsibility

• Co-chair Mr. Achim Steiner, Executive Director, United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
• Co-chair Mr. Bjorn Stigson, President, World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD)
• Ms. Xie Qihua, Chairman, Shanghai Baosteel Group Corporation (tbc)
• Ms. Michèle Bellon, Deputy CEO for Veolia-Dalkia, Member of Dalkia Executive Committee
• Mr. Raymundo Magliano Filho, Chairman, Sao Paulo Stock Exchange
• Special Guest Mr. R.K. Pachauri, Chairman, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

In the context of the climate change debate, businesses in many parts of the world are looking more closely at ways of improving their resource and energy efficiency, while approaching greenhouse gas emissions with greater care and examining the emerging markets for emissions trading and carbon-offsetting projects. However, many companies in non-energy sectors and of smaller sizes still need guidance on the nature of the climate change issue and its implications for their business. This session will provide a forum to share learning experiences and reflect on the needs of business in dealing with the risks and opportunities associated with global climate change. The discussion will consider how business can contribute to finding solutions by managing risks, promoting a climate-friendly economy and by sharing good practices and know-how. The session will also draw inspiration from a business statement on climate change, developed in a dialogue facilitated by the UN Global Compact Office, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD).

Questions to be discussed include:

• How do environmentally responsible companies manage risks and take opportunities associated with the low carbon economy in a proactive manner?
• How can voluntary initiatives contribute to changing strategies and practices and advance climate change solutions?
• "Caring for Climate, the Business Leadership Platform": how can we move forward together?

Parallel session 4:

United Nations-business partnerships

• Chair Ms. Jane Nelson, Senior Fellow and Director of the CSR Initiative, Harvard University and Director, International Business Leaders Forum
• Mr. Paul Polman, Chief Financial Officer, Nestle
• Ms. Monika Wulf-Mathies, Executive Vice President, Public Policy and Sustainability, Deutsche Post AG

Partnerships have become an increasingly effective tool in helping reduce poverty and advance human development and the Millennium Development Goals. This session will showcase innovative examples of UN-business partnerships in order to highlight the strategic relevance of collaboration both for companies and for the UN system. It will also explore when and how such partnerships are useful, how much they can achieve, and how they can be scaled up to enhance impact. Participants will develop a set of recommendations that will assist both the UN system and the business community in improving collaboration and developing more effective partnerships that contribute to development. Themes for the roundtable discussions will include, among others: water, nutrition, human trafficking, enterprise development and women's principles.

Questions to be discussed include:

• What are the most successful and inspiring partnerships you have undertaken? How can these be enhanced or multiplied to achieve greater impact toward more systemic change? What are the challenges and opportunities?
• What specific actions can the Global Compact Office take to facilitate greater collaboration between the UN and business?
• What recommendations and specific commitments can be made that will improve collaboration on these issues toward more effective partnerships with greater positive impact?

Parallel session 5:

Unlocking the corruption dilemma

• Chair Dr. Huguette Labelle, Chair of the Board of Directors, Transparency International
• Ms. Lise Kingo, Executive Vice President, Stakeholder Relations and Chief of Staff, Novo Nordisk
• Mr. Lee Tashjian, Vice President, Corporate Communications, Member of the Executive Management Team, Fluor Corporation (Member of Partnering Against Corruption Initiative - PACI)
• Mr. Antonio Maria Costa, Executive Director, United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC)

Today many companies have comprehensive anti-corruption policies in place. At the same time, staggering statistics of bribery payments and other forms of corruption around the world still paint a very different picture of the real extent to which such policies are implemented and adhered to, particularly with regard to companies' global supply chains. In fact, the growing number of companies involved in serious corruption scandals is feared to lead to a serious erosion of stakeholder trust in voluntary approaches. This session will showcase how companies have made their anti-corruption efforts more credible and will further underline the business case for transparency and anti-corruption policies. Based on the cases presented, participants will be asked to identify challenges that are still blocking the way to reduce corruption in business operations and to develop an action plan to overcome those challenges. Furthermore, companies will come up with suggestions on regulatory frameworks and incentive mechanism that government should put in place to support companies' activities against corruption.

Questions to be discussed include:

• What are the most effective strategies to curb corruption in an organization?
• What are the main obstacles to a company's implementation of anti-corruption programs? What can be done to overcome these obstacles?
• What incentive mechanisms should be put in place in order to support a company's activities against corruption? Should governments implement these incentive structures or should they be driven by the market (e.g. by financial institutions)?
• How can companies work together and leverage current initiatives to curb corruption?

Parallel session 6:

Responsible investment

• Chair Mr. Ivo Knoepfel, Chief Executive Officer, onValues Ltd.
• Anthony Ling, Chief Investment Officer, Goldman Sachs
• Barbara Krumsiek, Chief Executive Officer, Calvert Group
• Donald Macdonald, Chairman, Principles for Responsible Investment
• Rachel Kyte, Director, International Finance Corporation

This session, featuring a panel of leaders from the capital markets, will explore the significant developments and trends with respect to the integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues into investment policies and analysis. Following brief presentations from the experts, the moderator will open the session to general Q&A and audience participation.

Questions to be discussed include:

• How can companies improve their dialogue and activities (e.g. Investor Relations) with the mainstream financial community to take advantage of these initiatives and trends?
• In what ways could Communications on Progress by Global Compact participants be customized to better meet the needs of analysts and investors?
• How do the implications of these trends differ vis-a-vis public companies and private firms?
