- Abstract
"Business is making strong progress in partnering with governments, multilateral organizations and communities to support the global fight against HIV/AIDS. Workplace prevention and education programs are also now widespread, but efforts to collaborate with suppliers, fully utilize senior leadership and extend interventions in emerging markets still need an effective response.A baseline survey and interview program conducted by the Global Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS (GBC) and Booz Allen Hamilton has, for the first time, established a basis to look at the scope and depth of the response being made by the global business community.The study highlights status and variations in business response by region, industry and enterprise scale. Increasingly, business sees HIV/AIDS as a strategic as well as social responsibility issue, managing programs and resources based on bottom line impact. However an informed sense of urgency must be maintained - The State of Business and HIV/AIDS (2006) provides an important new resource to do that."
