Platform for action
Making economies more inclusive requires trying new ideas and making progress. Individually, Council members commit their organizations to specific, measurable actions and publicly declare these commitments on the Council’s online platform.
Collectively, our workstreams, like our just energy transition initiative, bring together industry leading companies with academics, experts, policymakers, and other stakeholders around market moving reforms.
Community of learning
Our members’ commitments form the largest public repository of real-world company strategies, innovations, and initiatives for a more inclusive capitalism.
Companies of any size across the globe can browse hundreds of commitments by industry, region, or topic to identify actions that they, too, can take.
Movement for change
The Council advances needed change at scale, emphasizing that the same values we rely on to do right by one another applied to capitalism form the foundation for stronger economies and societies.
Through their commitments, our members motivate and challenge their peers to likewise adopt impactful practices. As business leaders take up and apply the learnings of their peers, we catalyze the development of stronger economies and societies.

What is Inclusive Capitalism?
In short, business that profitably works for the common good. Read the Guiding Principles that define our movement.
The Moral Imperative
The work of the Council for Inclusive Capitalism and its members is grounded in the moral and market imperative to pursue profit in ways that lead to a more inclusive and sustainable economy. We were inspired to launch this organization by Pope Francis’ public appeal to business leaders to respond concretely to the issues of our day.
Connecting frameworks for systemic change
Council members make actionable commitments aligned with the World Economic Forum International Business Council’s Pillars for sustainable value creation — People, Planet, Principles of Governance, and Prosperity — and that advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
