Making the world more inclusive and sustainable
For economies to be more inclusive, we turn good ideas into progress
The Council for Inclusive Capitalism is a movement of CEO leaders doing business in ways that lead to a more inclusive and sustainable economy.
We believe the strongest and most valuable businesses are those that profitably create value for all stakeholders. Our members bring their best actions to the Council, turning them into business strategies others can use to generate positive social and environmental impact.
Leaders of every business, large and small, across sectors and geographies, can contribute to this movement. What is your best idea or action for inclusive capitalism? Share it with our community.
