Consumer Conscience: How Environment
and Ethics are Influencing Exports
8 – 11 October 2008, Montreux, Switzerland
The world’s leading trade policy and
business experts gathered in Montreux, Switzerland for the 10th annual World
Export Development Forum 2008.
This year’s forum explored the challenges and opportunities facing nations
as consumers worldwide are becoming more aware of environmental, ethical and
social issues, demanding more responsible behaviour from producers and
businesses.
Whilst this shift towards ethical and environmentally sound products and
services provides great trade opportunities for developing countries, they
also face challenges in rapidly adapting and integrating with the global
economy.
