Trusted. FAIR. RESPONSIBLE.
Dynamic. Sustainable.
Working together to change capitalism for good
OUR MISSION IS TO HARNESS THE PRIVATE SECTOR TO CREATE A MORE INCLUSIVE, SUSTAINABLE, AND TRUSTED ECONOMIC SYSTEM
Capitalism lifts people out of poverty and powers global innovation and growth. But to address the challenges of the 21st century, capitalism needs to adapt. Through our commitments, actions and solutions, we will create stronger, fairer, more collaborative economies and societies, ultimately improving the lives of countless millions of people across the globe.
The Movement
is an historic collaboration of CEOs and global leaders inspired by the moral guidance of His Holiness Pope Francis to harness the power of business for good.
Ours is a moral and market imperative to make economies more inclusive and sustainable with a movement of bold, business-led actions that span the economic ecosystem.
Our Values
The Principles for Inclusive Capitalism establish the foundational values that guide the movement. For more to benefit from our economic system, leaders are committing their organizations to transition operational and investment practices according to these values:
• TRUSTED by people to meet their needs
• FAIR promoting diversity, plurality and equality of opportunity
• RESPONSIBLE impact on others
• DYNAMIC to enable innovation, progress and adaptation
• SUSTAINABLE incentives aligned across generations
Concrete Actions
are the core of the Council’s work. Leaders and their organizations are committing to specific actions to create long-term value for all stakeholders in line with the International Business Council’s four sustainability pillars:
Invest in the Empowerment of People
Protect Our Planet
Foster Inclusive Prosperity
Elevate Principles of Governance
UN Sustainable Development Goals
are interlinked with our priority areas to drive and scale actions that support the UN’s call to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
Vision of Outcomes
is to deliver long-term value to all stakeholders – businesses, investors, employees, customers, governments, and communities – guided by an approach that provides:
• Equality of opportunity
• Equitable outcomes
• Fairness across generations
• Fairness to those in society prevented from full economic participation
Through dedicated leadership, committed actions from organizations of all sizes, and a collective approach, we can extend the benefits of capitalism to all people and build a sustainable future for generations to come.
