The private sector holds a pivotal position in achieving the goals of the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, which requires funding and co-operation on an unprecedented scale.  This chapter addresses how international cooperation can help to put sustainable development at the core of business models and provides a set of recommendations.  It looks at the need for sustainable development to focus on the quality and the quantity of private sector contributions.  The challenges include making sustainability business as usual, creating conditions for good investment, building global change from the bottom up, ensuring accountability and transparency, and creating new multi-stakeholder partnerships.
