Rio Tinto: Australian Organisations and B Reports

rio tinto: The B20 reports on its discussions to the leaders attending the G20, according to Nine News Australia. Fifteen Australian organisations and companies have registered to attend the event in the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou including AMP, Wesfarmers, NAB, ANZ, CBA, Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton. The B20, held in the two days leading up to the economic leaders' summit, involves more than 800 business leaders from 32 countries and 26 international organisations. The prime minister, who as an entrepreneur played an early role in making the internet a business tool, will sit down with executives from Accenture, Alibaba Group, Sinochem and others on Sunday morning to discuss "robust international trade and investment"."Australia stands ready to play our part supporting new sources of growth, including harnessing the opportunities of the digital economy in the 21st century," Mr Turnbull said ahead of the summit. He urged G20 leaders to take up the idea of an "electronic world trading platform" to set rules for e-trade, harmonise tax arrangements and standards, and reduce compliance costs. Accenture Gianfranco Casati told the China Daily ahead of the meeting with Mr Turnbull that e-commerce was a game-changer, especially for small and medium sized businesses. (news.financializer.com).
