Motion: This house believes that voluntary commitments are more efficient in propelling sustainability and prosperity than regulatory frameworks.

Are voluntary commitments more effective than regulatory frameworks in driving sustainability and prosperity? Are regulations the key to unlocking success or do they create unnecessary economic burdens? Do voluntary frameworks enable flexibility and innovation, or allow for complacency and inaction? Is it the responsibility of the private sector to lead the way in shaping regulations? Do evolving regulatory requirements represent a shift towards a more sustainable and responsible business ethos?

In this formal debate, two teams of experts will square off to answer these questions.
