Korn/Ferry International has recently joined the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD).

The WBCSD is dedicated to providing business leadership as a catalyst for change toward sustainable development. The WBCSD provides a platform for companies to explore sustainable development, share knowledge, experiences and best practices. The WBCSD also advocates business positions on these issues in a variety of forums, including working with global corporations across a wide range of sectors, governments, non-governmental and intergovernmental organizations.

Korn/Ferry aims to work closely with the WBCSD and its global membership with a focus on making significant contributions in the area of people development and advancing sustainability cultures and practices from the boardroom to our communities.  

"Korn/Ferry has a unique perspective of the issues and leadership criteria necessary for businesses to truly drive toward a sustainable future and will bring tremendous value to the Council and our members. We are delighted to welcome them to the World Business Council for Sustainable Development," said WBCSD President Bjorn Stigson.  

"We are very pleased to have been accepted by the WBCSD," said Gary Burnison, Chief Executive Officer, Korn/Ferry International. "There is perhaps no other organization on the planet as focused on engaging businesses in meeting the challenges of sustainable development. We look forward to participating on important WBCSD projects such as 'People Matter' – an initiative focused on the ability of businesses to identify, mobilize and coordinate the human capital necessary to deliver on sustainable development."
