Chapter 2: Section 2.9
Millennium Development Goal Campaign

The private sector’s role in the campaign

The private sector can contribute its knowledge in organising and managing projects and the necessary technology.

 

   

Corporate volunteers help to achieve Goal 8

In 1996, employees of SUEZ, a French group of companies specializing in energy, water and waste management, formed a humanitarian organisation to help poor communities in the development and management of water resources through sharing of knowledge and skills as well as material resources. SUEZ has sent many of its employees as corporate volunteers to help address waste and energy needs in developing countries. So far, missions have been carried out in Albania, Ecuador, Honduras, Mali and East Timor, and many more are in the planning stage.
