- Abstract
"AIDS and Business: Commitment and Action? Presents the findings of the second global survey of business leaders’ opinions on and responses to the threat of HIV/AIDS conducted by the Global Health Initiative of the World Economic Forum. The first report, Business and HIV/AIDS: Who Me?, was released at the Forum’s Annual Meeting in January 2004.2 It is also based on a survey of executives from over 100 countries. This year, nearly 1,000 more firms responded to the questionnaire and, although the countries involved overlapped substantially, they were not identical. This report presents and analyses data from the Executive Opinion Survey component of the Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report. The Executive Opinion Survey questioned nearly nine thousand business executives in 104 countries. Questions on HIV/AIDS in the 2004-2005 Survey address the perceived impact of the virus (and to a lesser extent TB and malaria) on workforces and communities, the effect of HIV on company operations and revenues, and firms’ response to the disease.
This year’s report does not include an exhaustive review of the economic effects of HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria, as presented in Business and HIV/AIDS: Who Me?"
