Alejandra Cámara, Genesis director and advisor of the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange, was invited to participate in the Roundtable
Buenos Aires, April 20 th 2018- The eighth consultation of the World Benchmarking Alliance
(WBA) was held in Buenos Aires on 20 March 2018 on the margins
of the IIF G20 Conference. It brought together 34 participants
representing companies, financial institutions, civil society, international
organisations, industry associations, research institutions
and financial regulators.
The consultation aimed to lay out the general rationale and
concept for the WBA, as well as explore the following strategic
questions:
• How are companies in Latin America integrating
sustainability and the SDGs into their business?
• How can corporate SDG benchmarks be designed
to ensure they create value for stakeholders as well
as the companies being assessed?
• What are the important intersections between
industries and the SDGs in Latin America?
To build relationships and promote open dialogue between different
stakeholder groups, the above issues were explored in two ways. The
first consisted of discussions in small groups, enabling participants
to have in-depth conversations with peers in their areas of primary
interest as well as meet and share views with participants from other
sectors. The second consisted of large group engagement, which
sought to leverage the collective insights, energy and commitment
of individuals focused on delivering the SDGs.
