Chairman Feike Sijbesma pushed to arise awareness on epidemia and its economic consequences.
In concreet what the statement brings to the business community?
According to this first white paper, It keeps business ecosystem up and protects life of employees in any longer the situation will take.
As Klaus Schwab, founder and executive Chairman said:
This is a real test for the stakeholder concept which the Forum and its members are committed to since a long time.
If we do not pass it, the world will disintegrate, and be incapable to deliver on all the other challenges we have as an interconnected society, such as climate change and social inclusion. T
The objective of this global effort should not only be to fight the virus, but to alleviate its dire economic and social consequences.
