Priorities

CBCSD’s key priorities for 2023 are represented by the following five main objectives:

  • (1) To adjust the structure and focus of the Working Groups towards mobilizing those that are of real interest among entrepreneurs, and to improve the results and positive impacts of existing and new Council projects.
  • (2) To professionalize the services and facilities of the Council.
  • (3) To actively leverage WBCSD membership and enhance the Council’s role in advancing the sustainability agenda to the public sector.
  • (4) To expand the Council’s membership base and stabilize and strengthen the Council’s financial position.
  • (5) To increase collaboration and partnerships in the area of sustainability with other value-based organizations in the country.

Within the Working Groups and their content, we focus on priority societal challenges with significant impacts on the business sector in the Czech Republic. These include, for example, the climate and energy agenda in the context of the European Fit for 55 strategy, further development of the “Energy Union” concept (especially in relation to the preparation of the updated National Energy and Climate Plan), implementation of the EU energy and security strategy REPowerEU, adaptation to climate change, resilience to crisis phenomena (cyber, material, pandemic, etc.), clean mobility, circular economy, sustainable finance instruments, non-financial reporting standards, EU Taxonomy and others.
