Markets Summit" set to take place on 9th - 10th October, 2007, in

gained considerable experience of operating in emerging markets. This
experience illustrates not only the clear business case for engaging
responsibly in such markets but also offers some useful insights into
the potentially critical role that business can play in driving
sustainable development in Africa and elsewhere."

Other topics to be covered at the summit include: anti-corruption
solutions available to businesses; discrimination and equal
opportunities management; supply chains in global economy; the role of
