BUSINESS FOR PARTNERSHIP AND RESPONSIBILITY


What is Agenda?


We have the honor to present the National Business Agenda - the first one in the history of our country. This document is not a hand-book for improvement of the quality of the corporate management or the results of business activity. It is not only for business. Entrepreneurs get information and knowledge for their direct business from other sources.

Agenda – is a view of business of its place in its native land. It is a system proposal for improvement of business climate in Belarus. It is our help to the authorities in its intention to provide a sustainable development of the country, to create strong and prosperous Belarus.

Agenda – is a road map for creation hundreds of thousands of working places, attraction of billions dollar investments, modernization of the economy, raising of social standards of the populations in towns and villages within the country.

Agenda – is specific proposals for improvement of the financial state of the local authorities, regional development and improvement of the investment image of Belarus.
The fact of appearance of the Agenda itself - is an evidence of maturity of the Belarusian business community. We have realized the disadvantages of individual and branch lobbying.
We are learning to understand each other. We have gone through the period of negative social perception. Now we have come to an understanding that business of Belarus need system advocacy.

Agenda – is the contents and action plan for creation a publicly useful partnership between business and state. A substantial and mutually beneficial partnership between business and state is not built for a year of two. Such partnership is our strategic target. It requires an intense work of business and expert community, active participation of representatives of the law-making and executive power, deputies of the Parliament and the local Councils. 

Agenda – is a call to launch a full value public dialogue between business, authorities and society. The dialogue is not for the sake of profit or turnover growth. The dialogue is for the sake of creation of an open and competitive economy, support of responsible producers and well-informed customers, encouragement of creation and innovations, development of the institutes of an effective, social-oriented state. 

The Agenda is the result of analysis of the state of business climate of Belarus, interrelations between business, state and society. Its contents and proposals is grounded on public polls, proposals of business community of the country, scientific and research centers and international organizations.
