In Rio de Janeiro, on June 2012, Brazil, Denmark, France and South Africa formed the ‘group of friends on paragraph 47’ to advance sustainability reporting in support of Paragraph 47 of The Future We Want – the outcome document of Rio+20. 

Earlier this month, the group published the ‘Charter of the Group of Friends of Paragraph 47 on Corporate Sustainability Reporting.’ In the spirit of Paragraph 47, we invite other Governments that share the vision expressed in this Charter. The Carter is available from here.

The ‘Group of Friends on Paragraph 47’ invites other Governments to join them to collaborate in building the future we want. Interested parties should contact United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) secretariat from isar@unctad.org.
