Mr. Pedro Manuel Moreno, Deputy Secretary-General of UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD),met with the China Association for Standardization Sustainable Business and Brands Committee (SBBC) to discuss sustainable business development and brand building. The SBBC brings together leading companies, experts, and thought leaders to integrate social and environmental responsibility into business strategies and to contribute to the achievement of the SDGs.
In collaboration with the United Nations, with UNCTAD serving as Secretariat of the UN Forum on Sustainability Standards, the Dialogue focused on the role of Voluntary Sustainability Standards (VSS) in promoting sustainable international trade. Discussions explored how VSS can encourage sustainable production, improve market access, and support brand development, with UNCTAD providing technical and policy guidance.
The Dialogue aimed to strengthen cooperation between Chinese enterprises and international partners, enhance understanding of sustainability standards, and generate practical recommendations for integrating sustainability into business and trade practices. The event also marked the delivery of a voluntary commitment by businesses to promote more sustainable practices.

Today, June 2, 2025, in Hamburg, Germany, the Secretary-General of the UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD), Rebeca Grynspan, spoke at the Hamburg Sustainability Conference.
The annual conference is a joint initiative of the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, and the Michael Otto Foundation.
Uniting policymakers and business leaders to accelerate SDG performance, the Hamburg Sustainability Conference is a call to action. With the world facing existential threats such as poverty, hunger and climate change, it calls for courageous decisions and systemic, large-scale solutions.
In a time of global conflict and crisis, the conference echoes the words of UN Secretary-General António Guterres: “The SDGs are in great difficulty.” It serves as a platform for improving global collaboration, forging new partnerships, and advocating for bold policies to meet the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
The conference not only brings together leaders from politics, business, science and civil society, but also inspires local and global citizens to take part in building a more sustainable future.
