OVERVIEW
SPEAKERS

The Human-Centred Business Model (HCBM) is an innovative sustainable business ecosystem that provides the tools and inputs to the private sector, public authorities and consumers when developing new businesses. At the center of the model are economic, social, environmental sustainability and ethical/integrity values that can lead to more sustainable business practices. This session will seek to introduce the HCBM to a wider audience and explore how it can contribute to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It will also analyze what role legal frameworks play in supporting HCBM’s multidimensional approach towards meeting these goals.
