With Vision 2050: Time to Transform, we now have a shared vision and bold agenda for business action and long-term value creation that can support us all in moving beyond business-as-usual and unlock the transformations necessary to accelerate the transition towards the achievement of our Vision. Future business success depends on thriving communities to trade with and a healthy planet for us all to exist on.

Vision 2050: Time to Transform is WBCSD’s framework for business action in line with the urgency of the challenges that we face as global societies. At the heart of this framework are nine transformation pathways covering the areas of business activity that are essential to society: energy; transportation and mobility; living spaces; products and materials; financial products and services; connectivity; health and wellbeing; water and sanitation; and food. These pathways offer companies comprehensive and ambitious guidance on how they can lead the transformations needed to bring about a world in which 9+ billion people can live well, within planetary boundaries, by 2050 – in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the targets of the Paris Agreement.

Vision 2050: Time to Transform was launched earlier this year after an 18-month development effort process led by WBCSD and more than 40 of its members, supported by an active series of regional engagements with Global Network partners – including a special session hosted by BCSDH in February 2020.
