The MD of LADOL, Dr Amy Jadesimi, chaired a presidential panel in the Great Hall at the Commonwealth Business Summit.

The session was focused on a subject the MD is extremely passionate about; delivering Sustainable Development Goals by aligning Business Society and Governments. How do we move from billions to trillions to help fund these SDGs and mainstreaming SDGs into business delivery?

The Presidential panel consisted of:

• Chair: Dr Amy Jadesimi, MD LADOL
• HE Nana Akufo-Addo, President of the Republic of Ghana (represented by Dr. Eugene Owusu, Special Advisor to the President on SDGs
• HE Maithripala Sirisena, President of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka
• Andrew Forrest, Founder and Chairman, Fortescue Metals Group and Minderoo Foundation, Australia
• Graham Wrigley, Chairman, CDC Group

As summarised by Dr. Jadesimi – “this panel shows that the Commonwealth is united in its focus on achieving the SDGs by creating enabling environments, moving capital to high growth markets and yielding higher returns from the private sector through a focus on sustainable business models. This is a winning strategy”.

A unified approach is the only way to achieve sustainable development across the world and unlock significant global economic value.
