Activating projects to turn ambition into action

The Responsible Business Summit in March 2025 will challenge businesses to move beyond awareness and translate intentions into tangible outcomes. More than just lofty goals, it is about addressing the urgent challenges faced by Small Island Developing States (SIDS) like Mauritius, including climate change, resource scarcity and the pressing need for sustainable development. The summit’s focus on “Activating projects” is a rallying cry for organisations to transform sustainability aspirations into impactful, real-world initiatives.
