Business and Development Go Hand in Hand
"Companies realized that if they started solving social problems through their core business, it could become a competitive advantage. And I think what’s happening now is that this approach has been integrated into our day-to-day operations. This is simply how we function. We work inclusively, we work sustainably, and it is absolutely about driving future strategy." — Katherine F. Pickus, Chief Sustainability Officer at ADM

Bringing Together Partners for American Innovation
"To the extent that we want to continue to be 'America First' innovation: First, it's going to be incumbent on all of us to identify all of the right ways to bring together the partners across an entire ecosystem... [including] government, academia, civil society, companies... to drive forth a solution that is going to be not only sustainable, and the most inclusive, but one that will continue to transform our world for good."
"And I think the only way to do that is to ensure that you're, one) pulling on all of the expertise, insights, information, and experience that those respective partners have, and then two) building a commitment and a level of mission-focused responsibility that can help drive those outcomes. And everyone has to do their part."— Nicole Issac, Vice President of Global Public Policy at @Cisco

What an Effective Commercial Diplomacy Approach Looks Like
"From a Chevron perspective... it’ll be very important [for] us to work with standard setting bodies to ensure that... we’re [working] to the highest standards of... [anti-corruption compliance].
