Cibjo president, former US President meet on sustainable development

04/11/2009

Cibjo president Gaetano Cavalieri met with former US President Bill Clinton in late October and described to him the active commitment of Cibjo, also known as the World Jewellery Confederation, in promoting sustainable development in areas in which the jewellery sector is active.

The meeting took place in Milan at a two-day gathering organised by the World Business Forum. “During my discussion with President Clinton, I described the evolution of Cibjo’s strategy for proactive corporate social responsibility, particularly from our organisation’s acceptance into the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations in 2006, and our commitment on behalf of the worldwide jewellery industry to the fulfilment of UN’s Millennium Development Goals,” said Dr Cavalieri after the meeting.

"In his speech to the World Business Forum, President Clinton had emphasised that worldwide inequality is a threat to all of our futures, and had stressed that we have to focus on making immediate actionable impact now. I applauded him for his sentiments and said that is exactly what we are doing in Cibjo,” he added.

Dr Cavalieri also briefly outlined the programme being planned for the World Jewellery Confederation Education Foundation, which was created by Cibjo in 2008 with the support of the UN, with a view to advancing knowledge in the jewellery community about CSR principles and practices. “President Clinton was very interested in what we are doing and expressed his support,” he said.
