BCSD Argentina (CEADS)

The Consejo Empresario Argentino para el Desarrollo Sostenible (CEADS) was founded in 1992 and was the first national BCSD to be created. It brought together the chairmen of 16 Argentine companies, representing the most significant industrial sectors of the country. Today, CEADS has more than 80 member companies drawn from an even wider range of economic sectors and activities.

The platform currently includes 628 initiatives submitted by 106 companies, covering all 17 SDGs and including 130 of the 169 SDG targets.
