How do you see the link between responsible business conduct and productivity in real practice, and what makes that connection work well, and what gets in the way?

Mark BirrellGUEST
It's an important discussion for all of us, and that's why I welcome this today.

Mark BirrellGUEST
Um, ninety percent of the world's jobs are created in the private sector, and most of those jobs are in small businesses.

Mark BirrellGUEST
So the challenge is to ensure that we can have very responsible business conduct that connects us well with customers, with our employees, with any regulators in a national environment, and also ensures that investors and suppliers are part of that responsible environment.

Mark BirrellGUEST
Um, I think it can work very well, and it should be in the interests of all of those parties to ensure that we do that well, and then you get a productive outcome.

Mark BirrellGUEST
Um, in a very practical sense, um, responsible business conduct creates trust and it reduces risk, and that's good for a business.

Mark BirrellGUEST
It's good for it in a long-term sense, which is what we would want to encourage.

Um, looking ahead, what are the biggest gaps, um, that still need to be addressed better to align productivity and responsible business conduct?
