SUMMARY:What do the SDGs mean for business in Africa?
DESCRIPTION:A discussion and networking drinks brought to you by The Royal African Society\, Dalberg Group and The Africa Club at London Business School. \nTickets available here: https://bit.ly/SDGsAfricaBiz \nDiscussion of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is widespread\, across the media\, within development institutions\, boardrooms and beyond. There is\, in particular a growing recognition that the private sector will have an important role to play in achieving the targets underlying the SDGs\, both due to the scale of funding required and the increasingly shared view that businesses and private investors have the ability and responsibility to make a difference. \nBut in many respects\, none of this is new. What is different now? What do we really mean when we say that the SDGs create new opportunities for businesses and investors? What are the most forward leaning companies and investors doing\, and what is working? \nThis event aims to bring together business executives\, investors\, social entrepreneurs and development actors to pierce the veil on the SDGs\, go beyond broad-based discussions and start a dialogue about key questions that face investors and businesses with current or potential interests in Africa. \n\nHow are the SDGs relevant to businesses and investors today and how do we expect them to change the way we need to operate in Africa going forwards?\nWhat new opportunities and markets can be opened up by taking an ‘SDG lens’?\nHow do we need to change the way we operate to make these opportunities a reality? What are the risks? What are firms and funds doing and what is working so far?\n\nSPEAKERS  \nWelcome remarks: Boko Inyundo\, Business Development\, DLA Piper\, and Council Member\, Royal African Society \nKeynote Speeches: \nLord Mark Malloch-Brown\, Former United Nations Deputy Secretary-General & Chairman of Smartmatic \nNick O’Donohoe\, Chief Executive Officer\, CDC Group \nTwo panels of business leaders and investors include: \nDougie Brew\, Director External Affairs\, Communications & Sustainability for Africa\, Unilever \nDavid Croft\, Global Sustainability Director\, Diageo \nH.E.
