It outlines a range of practical and adaptable steps for effectively applying IRBI in the region. The report presents four key steps for implementation: first, identifying priorities (Step 1); second, creating a comprehensive IRBI policy (Step 2); third, integrating IRBI into business practices (Step 3); and finally, establishing mechanisms for monitoring, reporting, and continuous improvement (Step 4). This report supports both the APEC economies and private sector actors to lead and drive transformative change in today’s business and investment operations.
