Centre of Excellence in Responsible Business - CERB

Centre of Excellence in Responsible Business - CERB As an outreach initiative to grow the formal sector, the PBC established in 2016 a Center of Excellence in Responsible Business (CERB).

The Centre of Excellence in Responsible Business's mission is to assist Pakistani businesses to pursue long-term sustainability and inclusive social development. As Pakistan’s premier business body composed of the largest and most successful businesses in the country, the PBC recognized the need to share and spread the best practices on responsible business conduct. By focusing our research on the

good practices of businesses in Pakistan, we highlight how practitioner companies can enable conditions which stimulate the economy while providing livelihood opportunities in a manner which is inclusive and uses resources sustainably. CERB’s provides insight and advisory on key elements of responsible business, and provides a platform for companies to network, build capacity and collaborate with peer companies.
