Understanding the role of business in the global AIDS crisis [PDF]

There is a growing experience however, from multinational companies to small and medium enterprises, that becoming involved in the fight against HIV/AIDS is crucial, not only for reasons of good corporate citizenship, but increasingly out of a more comprehensive understanding of corporate self interest...the pandemic stands to alter economic potential and political stability in our world’s most important emerging economies... business can respond to the AIDS epidemic in a variety of ways; such as, taking action in the workplace and extending programs into communities, by using products, innovation, skills and services creatively and by advocating for greater action by all sectors of society.
