Abstract
This guidance note has been developed through the ongoing collaboration between the Federation of Egyptian Industries (FEI) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) within the framework of the regional project, "Social Dialogue for Formalization and Employability in the Southern Neighbourhood (SOLIFEM)," which is being implemented by the ILO and co-financed by the European Union in Egypt, among the four focus countries of the project (Algeria, Lebanon & Occupied Palestinian Territories). The primary objective of this guidance note is to show the relationship between corporate sustainability and formalization in Egypt's business landscape. It provides actionable strategies for companies to integrate sustainability into their operations while supporting formalization efforts. By showcasing pathways and entry points for sustainability, the guidance note empowers businesses to align growth with ethical practices and contribute to the transition to a formal economy.
