Stakeholder Forum partnered with Brazilian NGO Vitae Civilis to convene the Dialogue on a Convention for Corporate Social Responsibility and Accountability with support from the Ford Foundation. The project set up a multi-stakeholder dialogue involving corporations, civil society organisations, intergovernmental organisations, CSR initiatives to discuss the need for an international framework/convention on Corporate Social Responsibility and Accountability at the Rio+20 negotiations.

The Peoples’ Sustainability Treaties is an open invitation to all CSOs to come together to develop an independent, collective outcome for Rio+20, and to plan their actions towards sustainable futures for all. Produced in parallel to UNCSD2012, the PSTs were highly successful during the Rio+20 process.

The fourteen Peoples’ Sustainability Treaties, evolved through a consultative process with hundred of civil society organizations, and have now converged at the Rio+20 to launch a Manifesto on the final day of the summit. All civil society organizations and citizens of the world are invited to commit themselves by endorsing the Manifesto at: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/peoples-sustainability-manifesto/
