Although international investment still below the peak before global financial crisis, it has grown during the last decade. Governments are increasingly recognizing the role of business investment for sustainable development goals (SDGs) and have adopted measures to promote investment. According to the UN’s estimate, in order to achieve the UN SDGs, $2.5 trillion will be required in each year in developing countries. And a majority of this will necessarily be contributed by private sector. ICC, as the only private sector Observers to UN General Assembly, intends to encourage expertise and use business resources supporting the SDGs. Nowadays, while many companies have already expressed their intention and vision to integrate SDGs in their business operation, ICC is dedicated itself to be a important role in leveraging private sector for sustainable development, especially companies in developing countries and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Although the shareholder maximization and profit-seeking still remain the prevalent vision among the public, there is an emerging consensus recognizing the corporate social responsibility of the business and its role to pursue social, environmental and economic goals. In the view of ICC, aligning business investment with SDGs is not only a right thing, but also a smart business strategy since there are main opportunities in new market across sectors. However, sometime, there are difficulties in unlocking investment opportunities, especially in an era of increasing protectionism with restrictive trade and investment policies. It should be admitted that investment climate is the important driver of foreign direct investment, which usually includes business regulations and government supports. For business, since companies seek to assess and reduce risks in investment activities, predictability, efficiency and transparency are critical for encouraging investment. Thus a effective policy or measure taken by government may have an immediate and influential effect. ICC laid out ICC Guidelines for International Investment in 2016, which sets out principles for both governments and investors on various issues (e.g. finance, fiscal policies, ownership and management, technology and anti-corruption). ICC encourages governments to adopt these principles for encouraging investments for SDGs. In 2017, ICC released its latest version of Business Charter for Sustainable Development, which provides a practical framework and sets out tools for businesses to shape their strategy in relation to sustainable development (for SMEs in emerging markets and for companies in advanced economies).
