This online consultation will discuss policy frameworks and incentives for fostering corporate sustainable innovation, investment and sustainability in the post-2015 development agenda. The consultation will explore how governments can put in place systems and policies to enhance the private sector's engagement as a solution provider in sectors such as education, health care, infrastructure and water provision. It will also discuss how to create incentives for responsible corporate behavior and how the private sector can align their activities and policies with post-2015 development priorities. This consultation is part of a series of consultations on ‘Engaging with the Private Sector' that will be conducted globally, regionally, nationally and online. The consultations will address five themes: developing government policies that drive corporate sustainability; enhancing partnerships; mobilizing private sustainability finance; localizing the architecture of SME engagement; and building trust through enhanced transparency and accountability. The UN Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the UN Global Compact serve as the co-leaders of this consultation. The consultations are expected to result in a final report that synthesizes the e-debate and the global, regional and national consultations. #privatesector2015
