About BLF

"I am glad that my country has been able to help in diverse ways, particularly through the British Council and the Know How Fund with which, I know, The Prince of Wales International Business Leaders Forum has been closely and effectively involved. Britain supports you in your desire to resume your rightful place in the community of free democratic nations".

From the Address by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
on the occasion of The State Dinner, Prague Castle

"I was very keen to start this Forum as a response to the lifting of the Iron Curtain in Europe and the huge changes which were taking place at the time. And it seemed to me absolutely essential that business should acquire a human face and ensure that the social dimension was kept in mind.... It was to be a focus both for exchanging ideas on good practice in business social responsibility and good corporate citizenship, and also to act as a catalyst to try and get private and public sectors together with community organisations to address many of the pressing social, economic and environmental issues which the world was facing, and of course still does."

HRH The Prince of Wales 1999
