Responsible Business Initiative

As professors of development economics at various Swiss universities, we regularly deal with the importance of the economy for development in the poor countries of the world. Since the developmental effectiveness of the Responsible Business Initiative is increasingly becoming the focus of discussion, we would like to contribute our expertise to this discourse.  

Our statement is available below in German, French, Italian and English.
