Began by defining the private sector’s role in supporting SE4All Focus: Structure how the private sector can best engage to make the most significant contribution Team: Worked with 18 GC LEAD companies to define what was needed Activities: Created a framework for engagement, conducted research, and held interviews with companies from different industries Access to Energy Energy Efficiency Renewable Energy CORE BUSINESS: PRODUCTS & SERVICES CORE BUSINESS: OPERATIONS SOCIAL INVESTMENT & PHILANTHROPY ADVOCACY & PUBLIC POLICY ENGAGEMENT 3 Work continues on developing industry specific recommendations and best practices

Key objectives – mobilize business action Provide inspiration 4 Share knowledge and best practices Facilitate partnership development Create incentives for action and engagement Develop guidance and recommendations

Determined that a traditional solution was not the right answer Required Characteristics 1) Must be Living! Solution needs the capability to change as SE4All issues and stakeholder needs change over time 2) Must be Inclusive! Solution needs to accommodate multiple audiences, different stakeholders, and diverse access points 4) Must drive Value! Solution needs to be attractive to stakeholders to drive adoption, support, and opportunities 3) Must stay Relevant! Solution needs to be sustainable and durable to last for the life of the 18 yr SE4All initiative 5

Identified key stakeholder considerations There are hundreds more! SE4All requires a solution that: Will include all stakeholder groups critical to its success: public sector private sector civil sector Bring together and leverage existing relevant engagement platforms in a unified manner Provide an outlet for existing engagement platforms to communicate and collaborate Drive increased engagement across a variety of existing platforms & initiatives 6

Developed the idea for the SE4All Action Accelerator SE4All should be underpinned by a web-based, community marketplace portal driven by social media technology that will: provide guidance, structure, and a platform for interaction enable and encourage user contributions facilitate the growth of SE4All as a living, breathing initiative with stakeholder driven importance and momentum Concept 7
