Roundtable on Sustainable Business Conduct

Although responsible business conduct is a duty for businesses, it also offers major business opportunities. There are numerous studies showing that socially responsible businesses get better financial results, thanks to their enhanced reputation, their capacity to attract and retain more highly qualified staff, and the broader “social licence to operate” they enjoy.

Spain’s accession to the Global Deal

When we launched the Global Deal at the United Nations in September 2016, together with the Swedish Prime Minister, Stefan Löfven, and the ILO, I said that it was “an initiative whose moment had come”.

Stemming the Superbug Tide in Spain

Resistance proportions for eight antibiotic-bacterium pairs in Spain have increased in recent years, from 14% in 2005 to 18% in 2015, and could go up to 19% by 2030, should current trends in antibiotic consumption, population and economic growth continue into the future. Resistance proportions in Spain were similar to the OECD average in 2015 (17%).
