Third sector (NGOs, trade unions…) and public authorities

Businesses work in a complex environment, in connection with multiple stakeholders (customers, suppliers, local governments, non-governmental organisations, trade unions, consumers...).

An active third sector is a critical component of any move forward in the area of sustainable development. At the World Forum of Lille, the points of view held by these various players from the economic and social world – which may be close or contradictory – bring added value to the debate. Combining these capabilities is one of the key ways to building a more responsible economy.
