budući da je skupina na visokoj razini koja savjetuje glavnog tajnika UN-a Ban Ki-Moona o planu za razdoblje nakon 2015. godine i koja se savjetovala s izvršnim direktorima 250 poduzeća (s godišnjim prihodima od 8 bilijuna USD) iz 30 zemalja, zaključila da se održivost mora uvrstiti u njihove poslovne strategije žele li poduzeća iskoristiti tržišne prilike za održivi rast; budući da nepostojanje jasnih modela za ulazak poduzeća u partnerstva s tijelima javnog sektora često dovodi u pitanje spremnost privatnog sektora da doprinosi održivom razvoju; budući da je privatni sektor potencijalni pružatelj robe i usluga siromašnim zajednicama i stanovnicima, čime se smanjuju troškovi, povećava izbor, a proizvodi i usluge prilagođavaju njihovim specifičnim potrebama te se doprinosi širenju ekoloških i društvenih mjera zaštite i standarda;
whereas the High-Level Panel advising UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon on the post-2015 development agenda, which consulted the chief executive officers of 250 companies (with annual revenues of USD 8 trillion) from 30 countries, concluded that sustainability needs to be built into corporate strategies if companies are to be able to take advantage of the commercial opportunities for sustainable growth; whereas the willingness of the private sector to contribute to sustainable development is often hindered by a lack of clear models for enterprises to engage in partnerships with the public sector; whereas the private sector is a potential provider of goods and services to poor communities and people, reducing costs, increasing choices and tailoring products and services to their specific needs, as well as contributing to the spreading of environmental and social safeguards and standards;eurlex-diff-2018-06-20 eurlex-diff-2018-06-20
