PRIVATE SECTOR LEADERS ROUNDTABLE ON POST-2015 DEVELOPMENT AGENDA
Jakarta, 16 January & 20-21 February 2013
Outcome Document
Indonesia Global Compact Network (IGCN) in partnership with
The Preside t’s Deli ery U it for De elop e t Mo itori g a d O ersights UKP4
Introduction
1. This report is an update to the Outcome Document of Private Sector Leaders
Roundtable on Post-2015 Development Agenda conducted by Indonesia Global
Compact Network (IGCN) on 16 January 2012. As a follow on to the Monrovia
meeting, the National Committee on Post-2015 Development Agenda organized
Natio al Consultation on Post-2015 Development Age da in Jakarta, 20-21
February 2013. More than 30 Indonesian Private Sector representatives
participated in the Private Sector discussion in the meeting led by IGCN.
Participating in the discussion were representative from Indonesian Chamber of
Commerce (KADIN), Indonesian Business Council on Sustainable Development
(IBCSD) and Indonesia Business Links (IBL). The outcome of the discussion is
incorporated in this report.
2. This document is proposed to be used as reference and guidance for the Outreach
Session of the Private Sector of the 3rd High Level Panel of Eminent Persons
(HLPEP) Meeting in Bali, 24-25 March 2013 which will be attended by
representatives from Asia Pacific countries. It is opened for further discussions
and improvements before submission to the HLPEP.
3. IGCN in partnership with the National Committee arranged a Private Sector
Leaders Roundtable on Post-2015 Development Age da , hosted by Post
Graduate School of Paramadina University, in Jakarta on January 16th 2013.
Attended by more than 50 CEOs, Directors, and Senior Officers of corporation
from various industries, as well as academicians, the discussion was a special
effort organized by IGCN and its members to provide reflective inputs on the
progress of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) whose milestone year of
2015 is approaching. In addition to that, the Private Sector Leaders Roundtable
was also aimed to give inputs on the development of new global commitment of
Post-2015 Development Agenda and the roles of private sector in global
development, looking at Indonesian context as a source of reference where their
businesses operate.
4. The Private Sector Leaders Roundtable took place following the appointment of
IGCN by UKP4 as the Interest Group Convener for Private Sector. As a convener,
IGCN is mandated to organize private se tor’s discussions, engage experts and
private sector representatives, promote best practices and lessons-learned as well
as identify key development challenges, and present them for the development of
national and sub-national Post-2015 Development Agenda.

5. The Private Sector Leaders Roundtable was intended as one of the Indonesian
private se tor’s collective contributions to the President of Republic Indonesia,
Soesilo Bambang Yudoyono, who has been appointed by the UN Secretary
General as one of the Co-Chair of High Level Panel of Eminent Persons (HLPEP) on
Post-2015 Development Agenda, together with UK Prime Minister David Cameron
and President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia. The Panel, among other things, is
expected to provide inputs to the development of Post-2015 Development
Agenda and key principles to strengthen global partnerships including the publicprivate partnerships. In response to this, IGCN initiated to organize the Private
Sector Leaders Roundtable. We see that this Roundtable is also our attempt to
follow up the UN Sustainable Development and UNGC Corporate Sustainability
Forum (Rio+20 Conference) as well in UKP4 Regional Meeting and Stakeholder
Consultation on the Post-2015 Development Agenda in Bali, in December 2012.
Vision, Paradigm and Time-frame
6. We believe that MDGs are still relevant. Billions of people still live in poverty.
Hundred millions of people including women still cannot have access to safe and
clean water and sanitation. Mothers in developing countries or poorest regions
still face extreme risks of death in delivering newborns. We cannot, and should
not, pay lessened attention to these human dignity deprivations. We are
convinced that the human rights and social development is the necessary
condition to enhance sustainable development.
7. The Post-2015 Development Agenda should be able to continue to focus on
poverty eradication and sustainable development as the overarching and
interlinked objectives. As much as we believe that efforts to achieve sustainable
development should be the main focus of the Post-2015 Development Agenda,
we also believe that the human rights and social development as advocated by
the MDGs should be further pursued by the Post-2015 Development Agenda.
8. Looking at the MDGs, we expect that the Post-2015 Development Agenda will
consist of a more robust and comprehensive Development Goals, accompanied
by specific, fair, measurable, achievable, flexible and time-bound targets and
indicators to be achieved by all countries. The targets may vary for each country
according to the country specific environment.
9. We consider that the Post-2015 Development Agenda should have 15-20 year of
time frame. During this period, the goals should be split into multiple 5-year
cycles where each country determines the targets according to its specific
condition.
The inter-linkages and Multi-sectoral Approach
10. The inter-linkages of development issues of the Post-2015 Development Agenda
such as poverty and human rights, poverty and environment sustainability,
poverty and health services, poverty and food security, should be elaborated in it
to enhance comprehensive policy mix of different sectoral policies.

JAKARTA, 16 JANUARY & 20-21 FEBRUARY 2013
11. Despite many global commitments and conventions been pledged so far, we also
understand that we need to translate those commitments to deal with issues of
Climate Change, Food Security, Disaster Risk Reduction, and Energy Security,
among some of the new emerging issues, into concrete actions on the ground for
the people, who seek to check those commitments made by their leaders against
tangible outcomes.
12. The Post-2015 Development Agenda should not become just a other global
o
it e t with which promises are hard to be kept and doomed to be failed
at the end of the day.
13. Post-2015 Development Agenda should be able to advocate fundamental
paradigm shift of our usi ess-as-usual approach to sustainable development
approach. The sustainable development principles should be mainstreamed into
national and sub-national policy-making processes including those of private
sector especially the financial and investment industry. The implementation of
inclusive business to help alleviating poverty should be part of business strategy.
14. We strongly urge that the global Post-2015 Development Agenda is translated
into National and Sub-Nationals Agenda, and it should be synchronized with the
Medium and Long-Term Development Plans to provide actionable policies and
programs with specific targets and indicators. We also encourage that the
national and sub-nationals Post-2015 Development Agenda stipulate the required
resources to finance within designated time period.
15. We urge broader and parallel engagements of all stakeholders at national and
sub-national levels in the discussion of the Post-2015 Development Agenda, to
create not only broad-based understanding of the Post-2015 Development
Agenda but also cascade down the Goals into national and sub-national
development plans and budgets, mainstream the Targets and Indicators into
Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) system and other actions. We learn
today we can only achieve the Goals if all are committed and assume their
responsibilities to keep the promises fulfilled.
16. We recognize that the Post-2015 Development Agenda should equip itself with
concrete affirmative actions for the disadvantage and vulnerable groups such as
disabled people, minority groups, women, children and youth groups.

Prioritized Development Issues
17. The Post-2015 Development Agenda should include a set of key prioritized
development issues. These areas are interlinked and required multiple yet
coherent approaches to achieve sustainable development. The following are key
development issues identified as the key priorities of the Post-2015 Development
Agenda:
Methodological note: The bigger the word, the more often it is mentioned in the discussion.
1) Poverty and Inequality
2) Education
3) Health
4) Environmental Sustainability
5) Access to Energy and Energy Security
6) Human Settlement and Access to Water and Sanitation
7) Food Security
8) Gender Equality and Women Empowerment
9) Basic Public Infrastructure
10) Good Governance, Rule of Law, and Public Policy
Poverty and Inequality
18. Poverty eradication should still be the core of development agenda to be pursued.
Despite global success in halving the number of people living in extreme poverty
globally, the other halve is still living in poverty. The journey to move the poor out
of poverty is merely half-met. We need to remain focus; in fact, we need to
galvanize more and more effective actions and shall spare no efforts to move the
other halve out of poverty. Reaching out to the other halve might pose greater
difficulties as the poor might live in very remote and/or under-developed areas,
that addressing the poverty issues might require a new mix set of development
policies.
4
OUTCOME DOCUMENT
JAKARTA, 16 JANUARY & 20-21 FEBRUARY 2013
19. These new mix set of development policies should be aimed to unlock local
economic and social opportunities that can empower the poor to move out of
poverty sustainably. Such policies would comprise of, for instance, local incomegenerating programs accompanied by basic infrastructure development. We
believe that no single sectoral policy can meet the complex and interlinked
challenges of our current and future development that we must pursue an
interdependent and multi-sectoral approach to our development if we want to
achieve a sustainable development.
20. The Post-2015 Development Agenda should give emphasize on targeting full and
productive employment including for women and young workers, both at national
and sub-national levels, as an approach to poverty eradication. We believe
sustainable growth with equity can be achieved, among other things, if all people
can be productive and have jobs that provide adequate income. The Post-2015
Development Agenda should also promote decent works for all while also
promote social protection to reduce vulnerabilities to poverty among the poor
and near-poor people.
21. Though poverty is in decreasing trend, inequalities – inter and/or intra groups –
might be widening. This might not be the case of developing countries only, but
also developed countries as well. In addition to that, we witness that inequalities
might also happen within sub-national levels, between rural and urban areas and
among geographical regions. It is another challenge that we must fully aware to
ensure that the benefits of economic growth are fairly distributed among inter
and/or intra groups. We believe that inequality measurements should be included
with set of ambitious targets as part of poverty eradication agenda to achieve the
sustainable development.
22. Indonesia, for instant, while enjoying fast recovery and consistent GDP growth
since the 1998 crisis, is exposed to widening gap between the wealthy and the
poor. Poverty and equality risks social unrest and impacting the business
sustainability.
Education
23. We believe that access to basic education is crucial for sustainable development
that it should receive a high priority in the Post-2015 Development Agenda. Many
developing countries have imposed education system and policies that enable
school-age children to receive formal education up to 9-year of education. As a
result, Net Enrollment Rates of primary and secondary educations in many
developing countries have now reached the highest level in the last decade in
almost all sub-national levels, while national literacy rates have improved
significantly as well.
24. But to orro ’s challenges require us to set higher standards of education for all,
including women. Today, we have seen that educated people are more valuable
resources than non-renewable resources. And tomorrow, educated people will
become creative entrepreneurs, knowledge workers, smart consumers, and
resilient constituents.

We therefore propose that we should daringly expand our target of the basic
edu atio to not only up to secondary education but to a higher level, a college/
university degree. That everyone should be able to finish at least a college/
polytechnic/university degree equipped our future generation with specific skills
that enable them to compete in a globalized and competitive economy.
25. Beyond numbers of people attended and graduated of higher schools, the Post2015 Development Agenda should give emphasize on the improvement of
education quality and its measurements. Proportion of students taught by welltrained teachers and average total hours of a teacher teaching per week, for
instances, can be used to measure the quality of education.
26. Equal access to education must be guaranteed for girls and women, people with
disabilities, indigenous people, minority groups and others, as we believe that
education can lead to economic and social empowerment and promote
sustainable development, by unleashing untapped sources of sustainable growth
with better equity.
27. We also urge the Post-2015 Development Agenda to promote education system
that advance the development of self-reliance economies by recognizing
vocational and life-skill education.
Health
28. The MDGs have prioritized key health challenges to be addressed by 2015:
maternal mortality, child mortality, dietary sufficiency, and communicable
diseases including HIV/AIDS, malaria and TB. There were some progress have
been made, but we still see that a large number of unnecessary deaths of
mothers and under-five children still take place.
29. In addition to that, we definitely need to include more health-related goals and
indicators as part of the Post-2015 Development Agenda to better reflect the
quality of our people’s health and to measure our progress.
30. Access to local health services, for instance, can measure the availability of health
services when people feel sickness or need medical consultation and treatment.
The proportion of community or local health services per 1,000 people, for
example, can be used to indicate accessibility of local health services. Prevention
and health promotion as an approach to reduce vulnerability toward HIV/AIDS
and other communicable diseases should be strengthened through health
campaigns and public awareness activities.
31. We could not emphasize more that the improved health outcomes can be derived
from various non-health policies. Sub-nationals with poor quality of health
outcomes sometimes are sub-nationals that have poor infrastructure and
transportation development such as access roads, sea ports, bridges, water
supply, sewage management and others.
32. If we would like to accelerate the increase of health quality of the poor subnationals, we must ensure that the health policies implemented are accompanied
with the development of those basic infrastructure and transportation as well to
achieve sustainable health outcomes.

JAKARTA, 16 JANUARY & 20-21 FEBRUARY 2013
Environmental Sustainability
33. Environmental sustainability is an increasingly important issue to be addressed by
the Post-2015 Development Agenda. Given the challenges we face today, we
should not continue our
usi ess as usual approach in dealing with the
environment and biodiversities if we would like to have sustainable development.
The inter-linkages of the environmental sustainability and equitable growth
should be well-developed and be promoted by the Post-2015 Development
Agenda.
34. In addition to that, any efforts to eradicate poverty should integrate the carrying
capacity of the environment and the natural resources and their boundaries and,
in any cases, they should also promote reversal of environmental degradation.
35. We have known that efforts to reverse environmental degradation can also be
accompanied or made through various alternative income-generating activities,
thus this interlinked approach should be pursued by the Post-2015 Development
Agenda.
36. The MDG target that call for integration of sustainable development principles
into country policies and programs to reverse the loss of environmental resources
and biodiversities, should be highly visible in the Post-2015 Development Agenda.
The integration should take place in the sectoral, national as well as sub-national
development planning processes.
37. A responsible and prudent commitment to sustainability in any industries should
be pursued to balance the environmental, social and economic interest. The Post2015 Development Agenda should pursue the systematic use of tools such as
Environmental Assessments and Environmental Impact Assessments for
evaluating the impacts of development programs and projects, to support the
mainstreaming of environment and biodiversity into sectoral and national and
sub-national planning processes.
38. Environmental sustainability concept is interlinked with our production and
consumption patterns that must be sustainable as well. The Post-2015
Development Agenda should explicitly promote sustainable production and
consumption patterns, that it calls for both the production side and consumption
side to take fully responsibilities of their ecological footprints and make
fundamental breakthroughs to reduce them below the ecological thresholds.
39. Priority sectors, such as forest-based and other resource-based industries as well
as transportation and manufacturing industries, can become the champions of
this initiative to make impactful outcomes to our sustainable development.
40. The Post-2015 Development Agenda should promote the development and use of
renewable energy and environmental-friendly production technology, widely
accessible for the poor. Targeted indicators of reduction of carbon emission and
other targeted indicators of mitigation and adaptation initiatives should be
disaggregated fairly by industries as indicators to be achieved globally in the next
15 to 25 years to come.

JAKARTA, 16 JANUARY & 20-21 FEBRUARY 2013
41. Moreover, the Post-2015 Development Agenda should also address the water
conservation and management, including rivers, mining area, etc as integrated
part of environmental aspect as well as basic human need for life.
42. As we believe that many local communities have developed their local wisdoms in
dealing with natural disasters, we encourage that the Post-2015 Development
Agenda should recognize and promote the Community-Based Disaster Risk
Mitigation and Resiliency to Natural Disasters.
Access to Energy and Energy Security
43. Accesses to affordable energy and energy services remain as major challenges for
the poor today. We have witnessed that the global energy crisis translated into
increased fuel prices, have impacted mostly to the poor. And we have also
witnessed that, to a various level, it has hampered the poverty eradication efforts
as the poor must pay a larger sum of money to purchase the energy services such
as fuels for transportation, heating for cooking, and other energy services while
their incomes remain the same. We agree that energy is critical to both social and
economic development that wider and greater access to energy services is
important to achieve sustainable development.
44. We strongly hope that the Post-2015 Development Agenda can accommodate
this issue through promotion of access to affordable and safe energy and energy
services. In addition to that, inventions on renewable energy should be
encouraged and disseminated widely especially for poor countries with supports
of donors and development agencies.
Human Settlement and Access to Water and Sanitation
45. Human settlement is another key challenge we must face to achieve sustainable
development. As population grows and development occurs, rural areas have
transformed into urban areas. Cities are emerging and megacities are expanding.
We have witnessed that more and more people will live in urban areas than rural
areas that the demand for human settlements is increasing sharply. While the
land stock remains unchanged in urban areas or cities, vertical human
settlements is the best option available for improving the livelihood of the poor
and slum dwellers.
46. Secure tenure rights should also be pursued by the Post-2015 Development
Agenda with certain targets to be achieved. We understand that the lack of
tenure rights and protection create poverty traps in some poor countries.
8
OUTCOME DOCUMENT
JAKARTA, 16 JANUARY & 20-21 FEBRUARY 2013
45. Access to safe and clean water is still a major challenge nowadays especially for
people living in remote villages as well as in urban slum areas. We fully
understand that to expand wider access to safe and clean water requires a huge
investment to be made, that we strongly urge the expansion of public-private
partnership approach to encourage more private companies to make the required
investment with close supervision by the governments to ensure the public
interest is well-served.
46. With expanded supports of donors and development agencies, we encourage that
the Post-2015 Development Agenda recognize and promote community-based
water management existed in many developing countries including Indonesia, as
a local sustainable water system that can be expanded to reach the unreached
communities.
47. Access to basic sanitation is another challenge that progress needs to be
expedited. It requires not only more investment to be made through publicprivate partnerships, but it needs a bigger political priorities of our political
leaders to make improvement of access to basic sanitation their development
agenda. We expect that the Post-2015 Development Agenda can also include
acceleration of access to basic sanitation to be one of the priorities.
Food Security
50. In the face of expanding global population, we must ensure our food production
can meet the needs for food globally. The poor and marginal groups are
sometimes the hardest hit by food crises in the forms of scarcity of staple foods
and higher and unstable prices. We believe that each country has the rights to
advance its food security policies through self-reliance of its production. We also
encourage that the Post-2015 Development Agenda should also promote regional
arrangements to stabilize production and consumption and help to fill in food
deficits countries during failed harvest period.
51. We believe that we must improve our agricultural sector by increasing
productivity of our land crops to increase our sustainable food production. We
need not to emphasize that food security is very important for the achievement
of global sustainable development.
Gender Equality and Women Empowerment
52. We believe that gender equality and women empowerment is still important as a
separate Goal in the Post-2015 Development Agenda, though we are very sure
that the concept should be inherent in the rest of the Agenda. Women
empowerment should be emphasized to enable girls and women to be able to
fully use and increase their capacity to participate in the sustainable development
through economic and social empowerment.
53. Gender equality should be promoted and ensured by all state and local
institutions, public services, parliaments, corporations, as well as CSOs, in all of
their human capital policies such as merit-based recruitments and promotions.

JAKARTA, 16 JANUARY & 20-21 FEBRUARY 2013
Basic Public Infrastructure
54. We believe that poverty eradication cannot be achieved without the investments
in public infrastructures as mandatory requirements such as roads, bridges, ports,
electricity, telecommunication and others nationally, including the poorest areas
or remote economies. These basic infrastructures can unlock local and remote
economies to produce products and services and open up opportunities to trade
with other local economies as well as international markets. The Post-2015
Development Agenda should give appropriate attention to promote investment in
basic public infrastructures to promote sustainable development and poverty
eradication.
55. We see that access to telecommunication is getting more and more important.
We witness that innovations in science and technology can be used to improve
good governance as initiated by many national and sub-national governments.
We believe that digital i lusi e ess can also enhance poverty eradication
initiatives. As computers, cellular phones, and other technological-based products
will change the shape of our socio-economies and how we communicate with
others, technological advancement, such as broadband internet, can and should
be used to unlock access of local small-scale economies to larger markets. The
Post-2015 Development Agenda should include inclusive targets of access to the
technological advancement.
Good Governance, Rule of Law and Public Policy
56. We strongly believe that good governance is a critical enabling factor, among
other things, for our efforts to eradicate poverty and achieve sustainable
development. Good governance principles i.e. transparency, accountability,
responsiveness, participatory, equitable and inclusiveness, effective and efficient,
the rules of law, and consensus-oriented, should be promoted by the Post-2015
Development Agenda as fundamental values that guide our efforts to achieve
sustainable development.
57. Strong political will to eradicate corruption, effective public policies to ensure
balance of growth, just spatial management, basic infrastructure development,
conducive business climate, public services, are also critical enabling factors that
government should provide either fully or through public-private-partnership.
Rule of law should be promoted by all state and local institutions.
58. But, we agree herein that we should not withdraw our development assistances
for a nation, state or sub-national and expect it to improve its governance first,
while at the same time we observe that most or some of the population still lives
in extreme poverty and human deprivations. We believe that improvements of
good governance at all levels are very important, but it should not be imposed as
a prerequisite condition with one-fits-for-all standards for any development
assistances.

Private Sector’s Role in Post-2015 Development Agenda
59. We believe that the private sector will continue to be the key agent of
development at global, national and sub-nationals, by providing employment and
job creation, promotion of human capacity and development, socio-economic
empowerment, provision of products and services, technological diffusion, as well
as tax contributor. We acknowledge that implementation of Good Corporate
Governance in our business will also be our contribution to the achievement of
Post-2015 Development Agenda.
60. We recognize that the private sector will play a pivotal role in delivering the Post2015 Development Agenda into actions. As much as we sincerely believe that the
Post-2015 Development Agenda is our world leaders’ pledges, we are committed
to embrace the Goals and make them our own development goals.
61. As much as we believe that we want our business is sustainable, we also want to
grow our business in a sustainable environment, in a sustainable way, in a world
without poverty, for a sustainable development.
Mechanisms of Partnership
63. We are ready to expand our partnerships with any development agencies
including governments, non-government organizations, UN agencies, as well as
donors and others, to achieve the future we a t through public-private
partnerships and promotion of social entrepreneurships.
64. We also believe we can accelerate poverty eradication by creating more
employment and boosting equitable growth and advance social development as
well. We are ready to expand our partnerships and participate in any
development initiatives of the governments as well as CSOs and others to achieve
the Post-2015 Development Agenda. We are ready to increase our participation
participate in a transparent and accountable process of planning, implementation,
monitoring and reporting of development initiatives.

PRIVATE SECTOR LEADERS ROUNDTABLE ON POST-2015 DEVELOPMENT AGENDA
Bali, 24-25 March 2013
Outcome Document
Indonesia Global Compact Network (IGCN) in partnership with
United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) and
The Preside t’s Deli ery U it for De elop e t Mo itori g a d O ersights UKP4
Business has an enormous stake in contributing to sustainable development - healthy
societies and healthy markets go hand-in-hand. Markets are essential for creating and
diffusing solutions that will drive the changes our world needs. But, this will not
happen through business as usual. Investment and business activity must be
sustainable – delivering value not just financially, but also in social, environmental
and ethical terms.
Delivering a better future for all requires collective action and partnerships uniting
Governments, corporations, citizens, consumers, workers, investors and educators.
Undoubtedly, the private sector has a central role to play. As the orld’s main source
of economic activity, business is at the heart of virtually any widespread
improvements in living standards.
With this understanding the Indonesia National Committee of the Post-2015
Development Agenda requested the Indonesia Global Compact Network to organize
an event to gather private sector perspectives on the sidelines of the 4th meeting of
the High-Level Panel of Eminent Persons. The Private Sector Leaders Roundtable, coconvened with the United Nations Global Compact Office gathered over 100 business
leaders representing 14 countries in Bali on 24-25 March; representatives from 5
Global Compact Local Networks also participated.
The event served as a platform for the Global Compact and its country-level Local
Networks to share the results of their post-2015 consultations and to engage a set of
business leaders from the region to participate in another such consultation. Over
two days, participants were charged with determining what pressing global issues
should be incorporated in a future set of development goals. Additionally, the
delegates were asked to identify which mechanisms the private sector was willing to
leverage to make impactful contributions to these issues.

BALI, 24-25 MARCH 2013
Keynote Speaker
Professor Jeffrey Sachs, The Earth Institute, Columbia University, in his keynote
address, provided an overview of the process that led to the post-2015 development
review. He outlined the distinction between the Millennium Development Goals and
the proposed Sustainable Development Goals, which emerged from the Rio+20
negotiations. Prof. Sachs indicated that in his view future goals would address the
three pillars of a healthy society: economic prosperity, social inclusion, environmental
sustainability as well as good governance and partnerships. He underscored that
responsible business will be a part of the solution, one where companies move
beyond traditional notions of corporate social responsibility and integrate core
business activities that are compatible with sustainable development.
The Most Pressing Global Issues
Participants received additional context on the post 2015 development agenda from
Erna Witoelar, Former UN Special Ambassador for the MDGs in the Asia Pacific, who
provided an overview of the status of the MDGs in the region. She indicated through
a series of data points that the region is still behind in the achievement of the MDGs.
The main reasons for this is that most countries were late to integrate the MDGs into
planning and budgets and that many countries do not have sufficient data
mechanisms to measure progress. She did indicate that more large companies have
embraced the sustainability approach into their business strategies and along their
value chains.
To provide additional context, particularly to companies attending the event with
interest, but little experience in this space, representatives from country-level Global
Compact Local Networks shared the results of post-2015 consultations that they
conducted with companies from their countries. These inputs are a part of a broader
consultation being conducted by the Global Compact Office; results were shared by
Global Compact Local Network Representatives from Australia, China, India and
Indonesia.
Following the briefing from Local Networks, participants were asked to discuss the
following items, in roundtable format:
1. Prioritize the 5 development issues that are the most important for your
businesses to be successful.
2. Prioritize the 5 development issues that business can contribute to most
strongly.
17
OUTCOME DOCUMENT
BALI, 24-25 MARCH 2013
Issue prioritization was derived based on 13 roundtable discussions, where the
results from each were tallied across all participants. The results of these discussions
are reflected in the following word cloud, which represents the development issues
that business can contribute to most strongly (where a larger font corresponds to a
high prioritization):
Methodological note: The bigger the word, the more often it is mentioned in the discussion.
The issue that was given the highest priority by business was Governance and rule of
law. Participants indicated that without good governance it will be nearly impossible
to make meaning progress in implementing programmes and activities to contribute
to a future set of development goals. Further, corporate sustainability efforts can
similarly be undermined when operating in a system where corruption exists. There
were calls from participants to work collectively as a means to counteract a system
that requires bribery as a means to do business.
The other issues that were highly prioritized were Education, Social Integration and
Inclusion, Sustainable Consumption and Production and Poverty Eradication.

Summary of Selected Speakers’ Remarks
Betty Maina, Chief Executive, Ke ya’s Association of Manufacturers, High-Level Panel
of Eminent Persons on the Post 2015 Development Agenda provided an overview of
the High-Level Panel process. She indicated that while the work of the panel will
culminate in 2013, with a report to the UN Secretary-General, that business and
other stakeholders need to remain vigilant about the process – to assure that their
input is duly incorporated. The objective of the HLP is to establish a universal
framework so that all can find a manner to engage in the process. She envisioned an
important role for business in the process, as an emphasis on job creation is
emerging.
Paul Polman, CEO, Unilever, High-Level Panel of Eminent Persons on the Post 2015
Development Agenda, began by stating that it is likely one of the most exciting and
energizing chapters of the Global Compact. This is because business, in critical mass,
recognizes that they need to be involved in the process to set the framework for
future development priorities. He indicated that it is enlightening to see how many
companies are willing to be a part of it and indicated that the next challenge will be
to translate the consultation processes into concrete action. He emphasized the
importance of trust and said that business should be sure that it creates a positive
climate of opportunity not a negative climate of limitations. He also spoke to the
power of partnerships as a critical mechanism for implementation of the agenda.
George Soros, Chairman, Soros Fund Management, underscored the importance of
social justice as a central theme for future development goals. He called on the
business community to assure that social justice features among the priority issues
that they identify. He indicated that where extreme poverty remains you find that the
lack of justice is somehow responsible for people being excluded from the process. In
his definition, access to justice includes property rights, citizen rights, rights of the
stateless, excluded communities, migrants and disabled. He emphasized that if this is
excluded then we will simply not be able to eliminate poverty.
Means of Implementation
Using the list of 5 priorities identified (Governance and Rule of Law, Education, Social
Integration and Inclusion, Sustainable Consumption and Production and Poverty
Eradication), participants explored how they as a company could best contribute to
each issue. For each, participants were asked to identify how business could have the
greatest impact, and which potential partners existed that could support their efforts.
19
OUTCOME DOCUMENT
BALI, 24-25 MARCH 2013
Themes that arose across priority issues included the following:
Business can provide technical expertise and training on a variety of skill sets
relevant to their functions. These opportunities, applied to the communities
where they operate and throughout their value chain, can serve to establish
mechanisms for sustainable job creation, additionally it can assure greater
inclusivity for traditionally disadvantaged groups (e.g. indigenous peoples).
o Using such mechanism can empower greater entrepreneurship and support
SMEs, which, if fostered, are seen as holding great job creation potential.
Companies believe that social inclusion is critical. Assuring inclusivity throughout
operations will allow for more sustainable growth by creating positive impact
within the communities where the company exists. A business can only thrive in
markets with stable socio-economic activity.
Innovative business solutions are having an impact on issues such as sustainable
production as well as energy access, water security and carbon emissions (such as
online action hubs and business incubators). But to have a truly transformative
effect, a quantum leap is needed. With the right incentives and enabling
environments, the private sector can make significant and lasting contributions to
address global challenges.
Partnerships with a variety of stakeholders (NGOs, Academia, Government, other
Business, etc.) will be important to make significant ground on all issues, as the
impact of a single organization can only go so far. In order to implement effective
partnerships, clarity of roles and expectations between partners is needed at the
outset. This will help to assure that all partnering entities enter into the
arrangement with an aligned understanding, helping to reduce potential
roadblocks to success.
o Business also recognizes the influence that other institutions have on their
ability to scale up their impact. Academia can offer innovative approaches to
systems approaches that may be engrained and outdated. NGOs can advocate
strongly for issues where change is urgently needed, creating the space for
business to make positive impacts. Responsible media and reporting can help
create accurate public perception on the activities of business and other
partners.
Beyond these issue specific actions, companies also identified the following
mechanisms of implementation as important for them to make a meaningful
contribution to the post-2015 agenda, regardless of the specific goals identified in the
end.
20
OUTCOME DOCUMENT
BALI, 24-25 MARCH 2013
Business commitment to corporate sustainability through initiatives such as the
Global Compact needs to be further scaled up. While the initiative has grown
considerably, with today over 7,000 participants in over 140 countries, to reach a
true level of transformative impact more companies need to commit to the
initiative.
Expansion and deepening of business engagement in initiatives that contribute to
key global challenges: Anti-Corruption, Caring for Climate, CEO Water Mandate,
Conflict and Fragility, Every Women Every Child, Global Education First, Human
Rights, Sustainable Energy for All and Wo e ’s Empowerment Principles.
Global impact can only be achieved through local action that is driven by and
attuned to the unique history and economic, social and political environment
within a given country. The system of over 100 Global Compact Local Networks
provides a valuable resource for companies to engage on specific, local priorities
that advance the post-2015 agenda.
Partnership is a key mechanism for advancing the post-2015 agenda. Additional
efforts are needed to support the development of more transformational
partnerships which have greater potential for scale and impact.
Clear accountability to evaluate progress. Wider corporate sustainability
disclosure as well as new accounting frameworks that value financial, social and
natural capital are needed.
Understanding the importance of ODA, private investors will also be a critical
driver in contributing to sustainable development. New models of private finance
– encompassing portfolio investors; banking-project-finance; insurance; corporate
FDI; and foundations – are emerging and building frameworks for the
incorporation of environmental, social and other sustainability considerations
(e.g. Principles for Responsible Investment – with $35 trillion under management,
Equator Principles and UNEP-FI).
21
OUTCOME DOCUMENT
BALI, 24-25 MARCH 2013
In addition to the above means of implementation, participants also discussed a
number of public policy recommendations. These recommendations include:
Re-align markets by appropriately pricing negative externalities, and include these
factors in measurement of economic growth and societal well-being.
Pursue national strategies that create incentives for greater corporate
sustainability through enhanced public-private partnerships and other
collaborative arrangements.
Promote more widespread and comprehensive corporate sustainability
disclosure.
Reformulate procurement and investment policies to align with corporate
sustainability practices, while requiring that contracts and arrangements between
government and business be transparent.
Delivery of Consultation Results
The results from the two-day consultation were immediately shared with
representatives of the High-Level Panel at a Town Hall session. The High-Level Panel
received the feedback from the private sector positively. While Panel members
recognized the important role that business will play in the post 2015 development
agenda, they did acknowledge that for business to make a positive contribution it can
only be through responsible practices. This aligns well with the business perspective
emerging from the Private Sector Leaders Roundtable that corporate sustainability
and responsibility will be a core contribution of business to the post-2015 agenda.

The Preside t’s Deli ery U it for De elop e t Mo itori g a d O ersights UKP4
Introduction
1. This report is an update to the Outcome Document of Private Sector Leaders
Roundtable on Post-2015 Development Agenda conducted by Indonesia Global
Compact Network (IGCN) on 16 January 2012. As a follow on to the Monrovia
meeting, the National Committee on Post-2015 Development Agenda organized
Natio al Consultation on Post-2015 Development Age da in Jakarta, 20-21
February 2013. More than 30 Indonesian Private Sector representatives
participated in the Private Sector discussion in the meeting led by IGCN.
Participating in the discussion were representative from Indonesian Chamber of
Commerce (KADIN), Indonesian Business Council on Sustainable Development
(IBCSD) and Indonesia Business Links (IBL). The outcome of the discussion is
incorporated in this report.
2. This document is proposed to be used as reference and guidance for the Outreach
Session of the Private Sector of the 3rd High Level Panel of Eminent Persons
(HLPEP) Meeting in Bali, 24-25 March 2013 which will be attended by
representatives from Asia Pacific countries. It is opened for further discussions
and improvements before submission to the HLPEP.
3. IGCN in partnership with the National Committee arranged a Private Sector
Leaders Roundtable on Post-2015 Development Age da , hosted by Post
Graduate School of Paramadina University, in Jakarta on January 16th 2013.
Attended by more than 50 CEOs, Directors, and Senior Officers of corporation
from various industries, as well as academicians, the discussion was a special
effort organized by IGCN and its members to provide reflective inputs on the
progress of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) whose milestone year of
2015 is approaching. In addition to that, the Private Sector Leaders Roundtable
was also aimed to give inputs on the development of new global commitment of
Post-2015 Development Agenda and the roles of private sector in global
development, looking at Indonesian context as a source of reference where their
businesses operate.
4. The Private Sector Leaders Roundtable took place following the appointment of
IGCN by UKP4 as the Interest Group Convener for Private Sector. As a convener,
IGCN is mandated to organize private se tor’s discussions, engage experts and
private sector representatives, promote best practices and lessons-learned as well
as identify key development challenges, and present them for the development of
national and sub-national Post-2015 Development Agenda.
1
OUTCOME DOCUMENT
JAKARTA, 16 JANUARY & 20-21 FEBRUARY 2013
5. The Private Sector Leaders Roundtable was intended as one of the Indonesian
private se tor’s collective contributions to the President of Republic Indonesia,
Soesilo Bambang Yudoyono, who has been appointed by the UN Secretary
General as one of the Co-Chair of High Level Panel of Eminent Persons (HLPEP) on
Post-2015 Development Agenda, together with UK Prime Minister David Cameron
and President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia. The Panel, among other things, is
expected to provide inputs to the development of Post-2015 Development
Agenda and key principles to strengthen global partnerships including the publicprivate partnerships. In response to this, IGCN initiated to organize the Private
Sector Leaders Roundtable. We see that this Roundtable is also our attempt to
follow up the UN Sustainable Development and UNGC Corporate Sustainability
Forum (Rio+20 Conference) as well in UKP4 Regional Meeting and Stakeholder
Consultation on the Post-2015 Development Agenda in Bali, in December 2012.
Vision, Paradigm and Time-frame
6. We believe that MDGs are still relevant. Billions of people still live in poverty.
Hundred millions of people including women still cannot have access to safe and
clean water and sanitation. Mothers in developing countries or poorest regions
still face extreme risks of death in delivering newborns. We cannot, and should
not, pay lessened attention to these human dignity deprivations. We are
convinced that the human rights and social development is the necessary
condition to enhance sustainable development.
7. The Post-2015 Development Agenda should be able to continue to focus on
poverty eradication and sustainable development as the overarching and
interlinked objectives. As much as we believe that efforts to achieve sustainable
development should be the main focus of the Post-2015 Development Agenda,
we also believe that the human rights and social development as advocated by
the MDGs should be further pursued by the Post-2015 Development Agenda.
8. Looking at the MDGs, we expect that the Post-2015 Development Agenda will
consist of a more robust and comprehensive Development Goals, accompanied
by specific, fair, measurable, achievable, flexible and time-bound targets and
indicators to be achieved by all countries. The targets may vary for each country
according to the country specific environment.
9. We consider that the Post-2015 Development Agenda should have 15-20 year of
time frame. During this period, the goals should be split into multiple 5-year
cycles where each country determines the targets according to its specific
condition.
The inter-linkages and Multi-sectoral Approach
10. The inter-linkages of development issues of the Post-2015 Development Agenda
such as poverty and human rights, poverty and environment sustainability,
poverty and health services, poverty and food security, should be elaborated in it
to enhance comprehensive policy mix of different sectoral policies.
2
OUTCOME DOCUMENT
JAKARTA, 16 JANUARY & 20-21 FEBRUARY 2013
11. Despite many global commitments and conventions been pledged so far, we also
understand that we need to translate those commitments to deal with issues of
Climate Change, Food Security, Disaster Risk Reduction, and Energy Security,
among some of the new emerging issues, into concrete actions on the ground for
the people, who seek to check those commitments made by their leaders against
tangible outcomes.
12. The Post-2015 Development Agenda should not become just a other global
o
it e t with which promises are hard to be kept and doomed to be failed
at the end of the day.
13. Post-2015 Development Agenda should be able to advocate fundamental
paradigm shift of our usi ess-as-usual approach to sustainable development
approach. The sustainable development principles should be mainstreamed into
national and sub-national policy-making processes including those of private
sector especially the financial and investment industry. The implementation of
inclusive business to help alleviating poverty should be part of business strategy.
14. We strongly urge that the global Post-2015 Development Agenda is translated
into National and Sub-Nationals Agenda, and it should be synchronized with the
Medium and Long-Term Development Plans to provide actionable policies and
programs with specific targets and indicators. We also encourage that the
national and sub-nationals Post-2015 Development Agenda stipulate the required
resources to finance within designated time period.
15. We urge broader and parallel engagements of all stakeholders at national and
sub-national levels in the discussion of the Post-2015 Development Agenda, to
create not only broad-based understanding of the Post-2015 Development
Agenda but also cascade down the Goals into national and sub-national
development plans and budgets, mainstream the Targets and Indicators into
Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) system and other actions. We learn
today we can only achieve the Goals if all are committed and assume their
responsibilities to keep the promises fulfilled.
16. We recognize that the Post-2015 Development Agenda should equip itself with
concrete affirmative actions for the disadvantage and vulnerable groups such as
disabled people, minority groups, women, children and youth groups.

JAKARTA, 16 JANUARY & 20-21 FEBRUARY 2013
Prioritized Development Issues
17. The Post-2015 Development Agenda should include a set of key prioritized
development issues. These areas are interlinked and required multiple yet
coherent approaches to achieve sustainable development. The following are key
development issues identified as the key priorities of the Post-2015 Development
Agenda:
Methodological note: The bigger the word, the more often it is mentioned in the discussion.
1) Poverty and Inequality
2) Education
3) Health
4) Environmental Sustainability
5) Access to Energy and Energy Security
6) Human Settlement and Access to Water and Sanitation
7) Food Security
8) Gender Equality and Women Empowerment
9) Basic Public Infrastructure
10) Good Governance, Rule of Law, and Public Policy
Poverty and Inequality
18. Poverty eradication should still be the core of development agenda to be pursued.
Despite global success in halving the number of people living in extreme poverty
globally, the other halve is still living in poverty. The journey to move the poor out
of poverty is merely half-met. We need to remain focus; in fact, we need to
galvanize more and more effective actions and shall spare no efforts to move the
other halve out of poverty. Reaching out to the other halve might pose greater
difficulties as the poor might live in very remote and/or under-developed areas,
that addressing the poverty issues might require a new mix set of development
policies.
4
OUTCOME DOCUMENT
JAKARTA, 16 JANUARY & 20-21 FEBRUARY 2013
19. These new mix set of development policies should be aimed to unlock local
economic and social opportunities that can empower the poor to move out of
poverty sustainably. Such policies would comprise of, for instance, local incomegenerating programs accompanied by basic infrastructure development. We
believe that no single sectoral policy can meet the complex and interlinked
challenges of our current and future development that we must pursue an
interdependent and multi-sectoral approach to our development if we want to
achieve a sustainable development.
20. The Post-2015 Development Agenda should give emphasize on targeting full and
productive employment including for women and young workers, both at national
and sub-national levels, as an approach to poverty eradication. We believe
sustainable growth with equity can be achieved, among other things, if all people
can be productive and have jobs that provide adequate income. The Post-2015
Development Agenda should also promote decent works for all while also
promote social protection to reduce vulnerabilities to poverty among the poor
and near-poor people.
21. Though poverty is in decreasing trend, inequalities – inter and/or intra groups –
might be widening. This might not be the case of developing countries only, but
also developed countries as well. In addition to that, we witness that inequalities
might also happen within sub-national levels, between rural and urban areas and
among geographical regions. It is another challenge that we must fully aware to
ensure that the benefits of economic growth are fairly distributed among inter
and/or intra groups. We believe that inequality measurements should be included
with set of ambitious targets as part of poverty eradication agenda to achieve the
sustainable development.
22. Indonesia, for instant, while enjoying fast recovery and consistent GDP growth
since the 1998 crisis, is exposed to widening gap between the wealthy and the
poor. Poverty and equality risks social unrest and impacting the business
sustainability.
Education
23. We believe that access to basic education is crucial for sustainable development
that it should receive a high priority in the Post-2015 Development Agenda. Many
developing countries have imposed education system and policies that enable
school-age children to receive formal education up to 9-year of education. As a
result, Net Enrollment Rates of primary and secondary educations in many
developing countries have now reached the highest level in the last decade in
almost all sub-national levels, while national literacy rates have improved
significantly as well.
24. But to orro ’s challenges require us to set higher standards of education for all,
including women. Today, we have seen that educated people are more valuable
resources than non-renewable resources. And tomorrow, educated people will
become creative entrepreneurs, knowledge workers, smart consumers, and
resilient constituents.

OUTCOME DOCUMENT
JAKARTA, 16 JANUARY & 20-21 FEBRUARY 2013
We therefore propose that we should daringly expand our target of the basic
edu atio to not only up to secondary education but to a higher level, a college/
university degree. That everyone should be able to finish at least a college/
polytechnic/university degree equipped our future generation with specific skills
that enable them to compete in a globalized and competitive economy.
25. Beyond numbers of people attended and graduated of higher schools, the Post2015 Development Agenda should give emphasize on the improvement of
education quality and its measurements. Proportion of students taught by welltrained teachers and average total hours of a teacher teaching per week, for
instances, can be used to measure the quality of education.
26. Equal access to education must be guaranteed for girls and women, people with
disabilities, indigenous people, minority groups and others, as we believe that
education can lead to economic and social empowerment and promote
sustainable development, by unleashing untapped sources of sustainable growth
with better equity.
27. We also urge the Post-2015 Development Agenda to promote education system
that advance the development of self-reliance economies by recognizing
vocational and life-skill education.
Health
28. The MDGs have prioritized key health challenges to be addressed by 2015:
maternal mortality, child mortality, dietary sufficiency, and communicable
diseases including HIV/AIDS, malaria and TB. There were some progress have
been made, but we still see that a large number of unnecessary deaths of
mothers and under-five children still take place.
29. In addition to that, we definitely need to include more health-related goals and
indicators as part of the Post-2015 Development Agenda to better reflect the
quality of our people’s health and to measure our progress.
30. Access to local health services, for instance, can measure the availability of health
services when people feel sickness or need medical consultation and treatment.
The proportion of community or local health services per 1,000 people, for
example, can be used to indicate accessibility of local health services. Prevention
and health promotion as an approach to reduce vulnerability toward HIV/AIDS
and other communicable diseases should be strengthened through health
campaigns and public awareness activities.
31. We could not emphasize more that the improved health outcomes can be derived
from various non-health policies. Sub-nationals with poor quality of health
outcomes sometimes are sub-nationals that have poor infrastructure and
transportation development such as access roads, sea ports, bridges, water
supply, sewage management and others.
32. If we would like to accelerate the increase of health quality of the poor subnationals, we must ensure that the health policies implemented are accompanied
with the development of those basic infrastructure and transportation as well to
achieve sustainable health outcomes.

Environmental Sustainability
33. Environmental sustainability is an increasingly important issue to be addressed by
the Post-2015 Development Agenda. Given the challenges we face today, we
should not continue our
usi ess as usual approach in dealing with the
environment and biodiversities if we would like to have sustainable development.
The inter-linkages of the environmental sustainability and equitable growth
should be well-developed and be promoted by the Post-2015 Development
Agenda.
34. In addition to that, any efforts to eradicate poverty should integrate the carrying
capacity of the environment and the natural resources and their boundaries and,
in any cases, they should also promote reversal of environmental degradation.
35. We have known that efforts to reverse environmental degradation can also be
accompanied or made through various alternative income-generating activities,
thus this interlinked approach should be pursued by the Post-2015 Development
Agenda.
36. The MDG target that call for integration of sustainable development principles
into country policies and programs to reverse the loss of environmental resources
and biodiversities, should be highly visible in the Post-2015 Development Agenda.
The integration should take place in the sectoral, national as well as sub-national
development planning processes.
37. A responsible and prudent commitment to sustainability in any industries should
be pursued to balance the environmental, social and economic interest. The Post2015 Development Agenda should pursue the systematic use of tools such as
Environmental Assessments and Environmental Impact Assessments for
evaluating the impacts of development programs and projects, to support the
mainstreaming of environment and biodiversity into sectoral and national and
sub-national planning processes.
38. Environmental sustainability concept is interlinked with our production and
consumption patterns that must be sustainable as well. The Post-2015
Development Agenda should explicitly promote sustainable production and
consumption patterns, that it calls for both the production side and consumption
side to take fully responsibilities of their ecological footprints and make
fundamental breakthroughs to reduce them below the ecological thresholds.
39. Priority sectors, such as forest-based and other resource-based industries as well
as transportation and manufacturing industries, can become the champions of
this initiative to make impactful outcomes to our sustainable development.
40. The Post-2015 Development Agenda should promote the development and use of
renewable energy and environmental-friendly production technology, widely
accessible for the poor. Targeted indicators of reduction of carbon emission and
other targeted indicators of mitigation and adaptation initiatives should be
disaggregated fairly by industries as indicators to be achieved globally in the next
15 to 25 years to come.

41. Moreover, the Post-2015 Development Agenda should also address the water
conservation and management, including rivers, mining area, etc as integrated
part of environmental aspect as well as basic human need for life.
42. As we believe that many local communities have developed their local wisdoms in
dealing with natural disasters, we encourage that the Post-2015 Development
Agenda should recognize and promote the Community-Based Disaster Risk
Mitigation and Resiliency to Natural Disasters.
Access to Energy and Energy Security
43. Accesses to affordable energy and energy services remain as major challenges for
the poor today. We have witnessed that the global energy crisis translated into
increased fuel prices, have impacted mostly to the poor. And we have also
witnessed that, to a various level, it has hampered the poverty eradication efforts
as the poor must pay a larger sum of money to purchase the energy services such
as fuels for transportation, heating for cooking, and other energy services while
their incomes remain the same. We agree that energy is critical to both social and
economic development that wider and greater access to energy services is
important to achieve sustainable development.
44. We strongly hope that the Post-2015 Development Agenda can accommodate
this issue through promotion of access to affordable and safe energy and energy
services. In addition to that, inventions on renewable energy should be
encouraged and disseminated widely especially for poor countries with supports
of donors and development agencies.
Human Settlement and Access to Water and Sanitation
45. Human settlement is another key challenge we must face to achieve sustainable
development. As population grows and development occurs, rural areas have
transformed into urban areas. Cities are emerging and megacities are expanding.
We have witnessed that more and more people will live in urban areas than rural
areas that the demand for human settlements is increasing sharply. While the
land stock remains unchanged in urban areas or cities, vertical human
settlements is the best option available for improving the livelihood of the poor
and slum dwellers.
46. Secure tenure rights should also be pursued by the Post-2015 Development
Agenda with certain targets to be achieved. We understand that the lack of
tenure rights and protection create poverty traps in some poor countries.

OUTCOME DOCUMENT
JAKARTA, 16 JANUARY & 20-21 FEBRUARY 2013
45. Access to safe and clean water is still a major challenge nowadays especially for
people living in remote villages as well as in urban slum areas. We fully
understand that to expand wider access to safe and clean water requires a huge
investment to be made, that we strongly urge the expansion of public-private
partnership approach to encourage more private companies to make the required
investment with close supervision by the governments to ensure the public
interest is well-served.
46. With expanded supports of donors and development agencies, we encourage that
the Post-2015 Development Agenda recognize and promote community-based
water management existed in many developing countries including Indonesia, as
a local sustainable water system that can be expanded to reach the unreached
communities.
47. Access to basic sanitation is another challenge that progress needs to be
expedited. It requires not only more investment to be made through publicprivate partnerships, but it needs a bigger political priorities of our political
leaders to make improvement of access to basic sanitation their development
agenda. We expect that the Post-2015 Development Agenda can also include
acceleration of access to basic sanitation to be one of the priorities.
Food Security
50. In the face of expanding global population, we must ensure our food production
can meet the needs for food globally. The poor and marginal groups are
sometimes the hardest hit by food crises in the forms of scarcity of staple foods
and higher and unstable prices. We believe that each country has the rights to
advance its food security policies through self-reliance of its production. We also
encourage that the Post-2015 Development Agenda should also promote regional
arrangements to stabilize production and consumption and help to fill in food
deficits countries during failed harvest period.
51. We believe that we must improve our agricultural sector by increasing
productivity of our land crops to increase our sustainable food production. We
need not to emphasize that food security is very important for the achievement
of global sustainable development.
Gender Equality and Women Empowerment
52. We believe that gender equality and women empowerment is still important as a
separate Goal in the Post-2015 Development Agenda, though we are very sure
that the concept should be inherent in the rest of the Agenda. Women
empowerment should be emphasized to enable girls and women to be able to
fully use and increase their capacity to participate in the sustainable development
through economic and social empowerment.
53. Gender equality should be promoted and ensured by all state and local
institutions, public services, parliaments, corporations, as well as CSOs, in all of
their human capital policies such as merit-based recruitments and promotions.

Basic Public Infrastructure
54. We believe that poverty eradication cannot be achieved without the investments
in public infrastructures as mandatory requirements such as roads, bridges, ports,
electricity, telecommunication and others nationally, including the poorest areas
or remote economies. These basic infrastructures can unlock local and remote
economies to produce products and services and open up opportunities to trade
with other local economies as well as international markets. The Post-2015
Development Agenda should give appropriate attention to promote investment in
basic public infrastructures to promote sustainable development and poverty
eradication.
55. We see that access to telecommunication is getting more and more important.
We witness that innovations in science and technology can be used to improve
good governance as initiated by many national and sub-national governments.
We believe that digital i lusi e ess can also enhance poverty eradication
initiatives. As computers, cellular phones, and other technological-based products
will change the shape of our socio-economies and how we communicate with
others, technological advancement, such as broadband internet, can and should
be used to unlock access of local small-scale economies to larger markets. The
Post-2015 Development Agenda should include inclusive targets of access to the
technological advancement.
Good Governance, Rule of Law and Public Policy
56. We strongly believe that good governance is a critical enabling factor, among
other things, for our efforts to eradicate poverty and achieve sustainable
development. Good governance principles i.e. transparency, accountability,
responsiveness, participatory, equitable and inclusiveness, effective and efficient,
the rules of law, and consensus-oriented, should be promoted by the Post-2015
Development Agenda as fundamental values that guide our efforts to achieve
sustainable development.
57. Strong political will to eradicate corruption, effective public policies to ensure
balance of growth, just spatial management, basic infrastructure development,
conducive business climate, public services, are also critical enabling factors that
government should provide either fully or through public-private-partnership.
Rule of law should be promoted by all state and local institutions.
58. But, we agree herein that we should not withdraw our development assistances
for a nation, state or sub-national and expect it to improve its governance first,
while at the same time we observe that most or some of the population still lives
in extreme poverty and human deprivations. We believe that improvements of
good governance at all levels are very important, but it should not be imposed as
a prerequisite condition with one-fits-for-all standards for any development
assistances.

Private Sector’s Role in Post-2015 Development Agenda
59. We believe that the private sector will continue to be the key agent of
development at global, national and sub-nationals, by providing employment and
job creation, promotion of human capacity and development, socio-economic
empowerment, provision of products and services, technological diffusion, as well
as tax contributor. We acknowledge that implementation of Good Corporate
Governance in our business will also be our contribution to the achievement of
Post-2015 Development Agenda.
60. We recognize that the private sector will play a pivotal role in delivering the Post2015 Development Agenda into actions. As much as we sincerely believe that the
Post-2015 Development Agenda is our world leaders’ pledges, we are committed
to embrace the Goals and make them our own development goals.
61. As much as we believe that we want our business is sustainable, we also want to
grow our business in a sustainable environment, in a sustainable way, in a world
without poverty, for a sustainable development.
Mechanisms of Partnership
63. We are ready to expand our partnerships with any development agencies
including governments, non-government organizations, UN agencies, as well as
donors and others, to achieve the future we a t through public-private
partnerships and promotion of social entrepreneurships.
64. We also believe we can accelerate poverty eradication by creating more
employment and boosting equitable growth and advance social development as
well. We are ready to expand our partnerships and participate in any
development initiatives of the governments as well as CSOs and others to achieve
the Post-2015 Development Agenda. We are ready to increase our participation
participate in a transparent and accountable process of planning, implementation,
monitoring and reporting of development initiatives.

PRIVATE SECTOR LEADERS ROUNDTABLE ON POST-2015 DEVELOPMENT AGENDA
Bali, 24-25 March 2013
Outcome Document
Indonesia Global Compact Network (IGCN) in partnership with
United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) and
The Preside t’s Deli ery U it for De elop e t Mo itori g a d O ersights UKP4
Business has an enormous stake in contributing to sustainable development - healthy
societies and healthy markets go hand-in-hand. Markets are essential for creating and
diffusing solutions that will drive the changes our world needs. But, this will not
happen through business as usual. Investment and business activity must be
sustainable – delivering value not just financially, but also in social, environmental
and ethical terms.
Delivering a better future for all requires collective action and partnerships uniting
Governments, corporations, citizens, consumers, workers, investors and educators.
Undoubtedly, the private sector has a central role to play. As the orld’s main source
of economic activity, business is at the heart of virtually any widespread
improvements in living standards.
With this understanding the Indonesia National Committee of the Post-2015
Development Agenda requested the Indonesia Global Compact Network to organize
an event to gather private sector perspectives on the sidelines of the 4th meeting of
the High-Level Panel of Eminent Persons. The Private Sector Leaders Roundtable, coconvened with the United Nations Global Compact Office gathered over 100 business
leaders representing 14 countries in Bali on 24-25 March; representatives from 5
Global Compact Local Networks also participated.
The event served as a platform for the Global Compact and its country-level Local
Networks to share the results of their post-2015 consultations and to engage a set of
business leaders from the region to participate in another such consultation. Over
two days, participants were charged with determining what pressing global issues
should be incorporated in a future set of development goals. Additionally, the
delegates were asked to identify which mechanisms the private sector was willing to
leverage to make impactful contributions to these issues.

BALI, 24-25 MARCH 2013
Keynote Speaker
Professor Jeffrey Sachs, The Earth Institute, Columbia University, in his keynote
address, provided an overview of the process that led to the post-2015 development
review. He outlined the distinction between the Millennium Development Goals and
the proposed Sustainable Development Goals, which emerged from the Rio+20
negotiations. Prof. Sachs indicated that in his view future goals would address the
three pillars of a healthy society: economic prosperity, social inclusion, environmental
sustainability as well as good governance and partnerships. He underscored that
responsible business will be a part of the solution, one where companies move
beyond traditional notions of corporate social responsibility and integrate core
business activities that are compatible with sustainable development.
The Most Pressing Global Issues
Participants received additional context on the post 2015 development agenda from
Erna Witoelar, Former UN Special Ambassador for the MDGs in the Asia Pacific, who
provided an overview of the status of the MDGs in the region. She indicated through
a series of data points that the region is still behind in the achievement of the MDGs.
The main reasons for this is that most countries were late to integrate the MDGs into
planning and budgets and that many countries do not have sufficient data
mechanisms to measure progress. She did indicate that more large companies have
embraced the sustainability approach into their business strategies and along their
value chains.
To provide additional context, particularly to companies attending the event with
interest, but little experience in this space, representatives from country-level Global
Compact Local Networks shared the results of post-2015 consultations that they
conducted with companies from their countries. These inputs are a part of a broader
consultation being conducted by the Global Compact Office; results were shared by
Global Compact Local Network Representatives from Australia, China, India and
Indonesia.
Following the briefing from Local Networks, participants were asked to discuss the
following items, in roundtable format:
1. Prioritize the 5 development issues that are the most important for your
businesses to be successful.
2. Prioritize the 5 development issues that business can contribute to most
strongly.
17
OUTCOME DOCUMENT
BALI, 24-25 MARCH 2013
Issue prioritization was derived based on 13 roundtable discussions, where the
results from each were tallied across all participants. The results of these discussions
are reflected in the following word cloud, which represents the development issues
that business can contribute to most strongly (where a larger font corresponds to a
high prioritization):
Methodological note: The bigger the word, the more often it is mentioned in the discussion.
The issue that was given the highest priority by business was Governance and rule of
law. Participants indicated that without good governance it will be nearly impossible
to make meaning progress in implementing programmes and activities to contribute
to a future set of development goals. Further, corporate sustainability efforts can
similarly be undermined when operating in a system where corruption exists. There
were calls from participants to work collectively as a means to counteract a system
that requires bribery as a means to do business.
The other issues that were highly prioritized were Education, Social Integration and
Inclusion, Sustainable Consumption and Production and Poverty Eradication.

Summary of Selected Speakers’ Remarks
Betty Maina, Chief Executive, Ke ya’s Association of Manufacturers, High-Level Panel
of Eminent Persons on the Post 2015 Development Agenda provided an overview of
the High-Level Panel process. She indicated that while the work of the panel will
culminate in 2013, with a report to the UN Secretary-General, that business and
other stakeholders need to remain vigilant about the process – to assure that their
input is duly incorporated. The objective of the HLP is to establish a universal
framework so that all can find a manner to engage in the process. She envisioned an
important role for business in the process, as an emphasis on job creation is
emerging.
Paul Polman, CEO, Unilever, High-Level Panel of Eminent Persons on the Post 2015
Development Agenda, began by stating that it is likely one of the most exciting and
energizing chapters of the Global Compact. This is because business, in critical mass,
recognizes that they need to be involved in the process to set the framework for
future development priorities. He indicated that it is enlightening to see how many
companies are willing to be a part of it and indicated that the next challenge will be
to translate the consultation processes into concrete action. He emphasized the
importance of trust and said that business should be sure that it creates a positive
climate of opportunity not a negative climate of limitations. He also spoke to the
power of partnerships as a critical mechanism for implementation of the agenda.
George Soros, Chairman, Soros Fund Management, underscored the importance of
social justice as a central theme for future development goals. He called on the
business community to assure that social justice features among the priority issues
that they identify. He indicated that where extreme poverty remains you find that the
lack of justice is somehow responsible for people being excluded from the process. In
his definition, access to justice includes property rights, citizen rights, rights of the
stateless, excluded communities, migrants and disabled. He emphasized that if this is
excluded then we will simply not be able to eliminate poverty.
Means of Implementation
Using the list of 5 priorities identified (Governance and Rule of Law, Education, Social
Integration and Inclusion, Sustainable Consumption and Production and Poverty
Eradication), participants explored how they as a company could best contribute to
each issue. For each, participants were asked to identify how business could have the
greatest impact, and which potential partners existed that could support their efforts.
19
OUTCOME DOCUMENT
BALI, 24-25 MARCH 2013
Themes that arose across priority issues included the following:
Business can provide technical expertise and training on a variety of skill sets
relevant to their functions. These opportunities, applied to the communities
where they operate and throughout their value chain, can serve to establish
mechanisms for sustainable job creation, additionally it can assure greater
inclusivity for traditionally disadvantaged groups (e.g. indigenous peoples).
o Using such mechanism can empower greater entrepreneurship and support
SMEs, which, if fostered, are seen as holding great job creation potential.
Companies believe that social inclusion is critical. Assuring inclusivity throughout
operations will allow for more sustainable growth by creating positive impact
within the communities where the company exists. A business can only thrive in
markets with stable socio-economic activity.
Innovative business solutions are having an impact on issues such as sustainable
production as well as energy access, water security and carbon emissions (such as
online action hubs and business incubators). But to have a truly transformative
effect, a quantum leap is needed. With the right incentives and enabling
environments, the private sector can make significant and lasting contributions to
address global challenges.
Partnerships with a variety of stakeholders (NGOs, Academia, Government, other
Business, etc.) will be important to make significant ground on all issues, as the
impact of a single organization can only go so far. In order to implement effective
partnerships, clarity of roles and expectations between partners is needed at the
outset. This will help to assure that all partnering entities enter into the
arrangement with an aligned understanding, helping to reduce potential
roadblocks to success.
o Business also recognizes the influence that other institutions have on their
ability to scale up their impact. Academia can offer innovative approaches to
systems approaches that may be engrained and outdated. NGOs can advocate
strongly for issues where change is urgently needed, creating the space for
business to make positive impacts. Responsible media and reporting can help
create accurate public perception on the activities of business and other
partners.
Beyond these issue specific actions, companies also identified the following
mechanisms of implementation as important for them to make a meaningful
contribution to the post-2015 agenda, regardless of the specific goals identified in the
end.
20
OUTCOME DOCUMENT
BALI, 24-25 MARCH 2013
Business commitment to corporate sustainability through initiatives such as the
Global Compact needs to be further scaled up. While the initiative has grown
considerably, with today over 7,000 participants in over 140 countries, to reach a
true level of transformative impact more companies need to commit to the
initiative.
Expansion and deepening of business engagement in initiatives that contribute to
key global challenges: Anti-Corruption, Caring for Climate, CEO Water Mandate,
Conflict and Fragility, Every Women Every Child, Global Education First, Human
Rights, Sustainable Energy for All and Wo e ’s Empowerment Principles.
Global impact can only be achieved through local action that is driven by and
attuned to the unique history and economic, social and political environment
within a given country. The system of over 100 Global Compact Local Networks
provides a valuable resource for companies to engage on specific, local priorities
that advance the post-2015 agenda.
Partnership is a key mechanism for advancing the post-2015 agenda. Additional
efforts are needed to support the development of more transformational
partnerships which have greater potential for scale and impact.
Clear accountability to evaluate progress. Wider corporate sustainability
disclosure as well as new accounting frameworks that value financial, social and
natural capital are needed.
Understanding the importance of ODA, private investors will also be a critical
driver in contributing to sustainable development. New models of private finance
– encompassing portfolio investors; banking-project-finance; insurance; corporate
FDI; and foundations – are emerging and building frameworks for the
incorporation of environmental, social and other sustainability considerations
(e.g. Principles for Responsible Investment – with $35 trillion under management,
Equator Principles and UNEP-FI).
21
OUTCOME DOCUMENT
BALI, 24-25 MARCH 2013
In addition to the above means of implementation, participants also discussed a
number of public policy recommendations. These recommendations include:
Re-align markets by appropriately pricing negative externalities, and include these
factors in measurement of economic growth and societal well-being.
Pursue national strategies that create incentives for greater corporate
sustainability through enhanced public-private partnerships and other
collaborative arrangements.
Promote more widespread and comprehensive corporate sustainability
disclosure.
Reformulate procurement and investment policies to align with corporate
sustainability practices, while requiring that contracts and arrangements between
government and business be transparent.
Delivery of Consultation Results
The results from the two-day consultation were immediately shared with
representatives of the High-Level Panel at a Town Hall session. The High-Level Panel
received the feedback from the private sector positively. While Panel members
recognized the important role that business will play in the post 2015 development
agenda, they did acknowledge that for business to make a positive contribution it can
only be through responsible practices. This aligns well with the business perspective
emerging from the Private Sector Leaders Roundtable that corporate sustainability
and responsibility will be a core contribution of business to the post-2015 agenda.
