We were honoured to have Mr. FRANK STRONACH, founder of Magna International, join us at the World Summit for SDG Cities & Urban Finance. We were delighted to hear a passionate speech in which he shared his 7 principles with us: 𝟏. 𝐔𝐧𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐭 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 Stronach established a corporate constitution with a key principle of distributing 10% of profits to employees after wages. This approach resulted in a remarkable increase in profits over three years, demonstrating the power of employee participation in profit sharing. 𝟐. 𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐎𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬. Stronach shares an example of a 3-year struggle to get a farmer's market permit, stating bureaucracy has overgrown in the West hampering business. He proposes gradually reducing bureaucracy by 50% over 20 years. 𝟑. 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐱 𝐓𝐚𝐱 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬. Stronach critiques a convoluted tax system with loopholes serving special groups, not society. He calls for simplifying taxes into a clear, fair system of charge distribution. 𝟒. 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 Stronach differentiates small businesses, under 300 employees, from large ones and proposes freeing them from bureaucracy to drive innovation, while enforcing workplace safety and environmental rules. 𝟓. 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐭-𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 For larger businesses with over 300 employees, Stronach proposes mandating profit-sharing between 10-20% to drive engagement and productivity as proven in Magna International. 𝟔. 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬 Stronach recommends exposing students to trades in high schools, before university, to expand horizons and supply skilled tradespeople that society needs. 𝟕. 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬 He proposes serving breakfast and lunch with organic food to all Canadian schoolchildren by law to address hunger issues.

The City of Richmond Hill is a diverse city that is growing rapidly and has immense potential in becoming a Global Frontrunner City on Urban SDGs under the Pavilion. Richmond Hill has a opportunity for urban transformation and urban investment. Listen to what Mayor David West of Richmond Hill has to say about his intervention at the opening of the World Summit on SDG Cities & Urban Finance. During his address Mayor West highlighted several critical challenges facing his city and how they continue to work towards implementing sustainable solutions: 1. Funding Limitations: Richmond Hill needs $8.6 billion by 2050 for sustainability initiatives, requiring support from higher levels of government due to limitations in property taxes. 2. Housing Pressures:Rapid population growth demands construction of affordable housing, with an expected increase from 210,000 to 320,000 residents by 2051. 3. Balancing Growth & Sustainability: Shifting to urban development requires sustainable practices, despite resistance from traditional suburban residents. 4. Climate Change Mitigation: Richmond Hill aims for net-zero emissions by 2051, necessitating major infrastructure overhauls in transportation, energy, and buildings. 5. Protecting Natural Resources: Preservation of the Oak Ridges Moraine and its water sources is crucial for Richmond Hill’s ecosystem and drinking water supply. 6. Stormwater Management & Flood Mitigation: Investments in flood control, like the rumble pond project, are vital as the city faces increasing flood risks due to climate change. 7. Invasive Species Management: Despite challenges from invasive species, Richmond Hill is committed to expanding its urban canopy while preserving its natural environment. #SDGs #Sustainablefuture #sustainablecities

Mitchell Cohen, President & Heela Omarkhail, Vice-President of Social Impact & team at @thedanielscorp, shared their experience and lessons learned from the renowned Regent Park Revitalization. This excellent session aimed to share the valuable knowledge to other cities and developers also looking to create an urban transformation. It was great to also welcome Toronto Community Housing to help tell the story of this experience. It was great to also welcome representatives from @bloombergdotorg, Betty Development, MCB Development, City of Baltimore, Arena Analytics, MD District 45, Greater Baltimore Committee. An important part of achieving sustainable development is understanding the needs and the priorities of the community you are working in. It was also great to welcome the Regent Park community to also share their experience with the revtilization process, offering lessons and pathways forward that are people-centred. It is great to see our partners sharing their inspiring practices for sustainable #urban #development to accelerate the achievement of the hashtag#SDGs.
