 Business leaders today are being measured on the contribution they make to society and how they are responding to challenges facing our world. A new form of leadership is required to navigate a new age, an age where trust in many businesses and institutions is being tested. Trust is key to our connected world. If we do not trust organizations to look after us in the digital world, we may not succeed in building a new connected society and enjoying all the benefit it brings. So how are we rebuilding trust? Well, one example is the digital declaration, a cross-industry movement of 60 CEOs that have signed up to a series of commitments to act ethically in the digital era. I would encourage the Broadband Commission to recognize the principles of the digital declaration as a foundation for public-private partnership. Ensuring sustainable growth and developing responsible business models requires vision and leadership, and leaders from across both the public and private sectors must come together to achieve these goals.
