The roundtable was established by twenty-three leading international businesses who co-operatively engaged in a global plan of action. The aim of the group was to ensure that a long-term policy framework is setup to enable market-based solutions in mitigating climate change.

The group devised a Framework for Action which called for technology incentive programs, the establishment of common metrics, for example in energy efficiency and the expansion of emissions trading schemes.
