Shared responsibility I want today to be the starting point of a new call to arms where we work together, not in a piecemeal fashion, but with equal respect for our positions, philosophical approaches and ideologies because as I have learnt over a long period of time we can in fact reach our common goal through the identification of our single common purpose. We are all influencers of positive change and can in our own right use that influence for better outcomes for us all. So how do we reach a sustainable socioeconomic peace? One path is through sustainable development with all of us sharing responsibility and working towards our common narrative. I could probably quote any number of well-known people and leaders such as Desmond Tutu who once said “each one of us can be an oasis of peace” or Nelson Mandela who said that “peace is the greatest weapon for development that any people can have.” I draw no distinction between your or my ability to make a change and to make a difference. I don’t care if you are black or white, man or woman, young or old, Christian or Muslim, you speak differently to me or not. At the end of the day if we recognize that all people are important then we can and will reach a sustainable socioeconomic peace. The case for sustainable business
