The International Business Leaders Forum (IBLF) was an independent, non-profit global members' organization of multinational companies that worked with business, government, and civil society, focusing on sustainability, growth, and leadership issues.

The International Business Leaders Forum is no longer in operation. Several programs initiated by the organization continue their work. These include The Partnering Initiative, now an independent, not-for-profit global organization dedicated to unleashing the power of partnership for development.

History

IBLF was founded in 1990 by HRH The Prince of Wales, Robert Davies, and a group of chief executives of international companies in response to the emerging challenges of economic growth and change in the global economy.

IBLF worked with several multinational companies including Coca-Cola Enterprises, Shell, Accenture, and Diageo.

The IBLF ceased to operate in October 2013. It was then refounded as IBLF Global.

Status

IBLF Global being an independent trusted advisor to companies, financial and investment institutions, multilaterals, and governments holds its acceptance on managing the cultural, corruption, procurement, supply chain, and compliance risks in challenging markets, through training, capacity building, and customized guidance.

They work with a motto "PROMOTING RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS THROUGH COLLECTIVE ACTION".

They are unaligned to any political or private commercial interests. Currently, IBLF Global is funded by governments, international development agencies, and corporate foundations on a project-by-project basis. They are setting up a scheme for foundation support and corporate membership to fund their non-project business and network development and their advocacy and advisory activities.
