Business for Inclusive Growth

Business for Inclusive Growth (B4IG) is a global CEO-led coalition united in the belief that business has a central role to play in building a more sustainable and inclusive economy. Together with the OECD as its strategic partner, B4IG is driven by the ambition to scale up business action on inequality. Each Chairperson or CEO of B4IG member companies has signed The Pledge, which covers the key areas of Inclusive Growth: advancing human rights in direct operations and supply chains; building inclusive workplaces; strengthening inclusion in company value chains & ecosystems, and developing adapted tools to measure and value the impact of inclusive business. Launched at the G7 Summit in Biarritz in 2019, the B4IG coalition represents 4.4 million employees and a combined revenue of over 1 trillion USD. The coalition’s three-pillar structure includes Working Groups, which consist of collaborative efforts by member companies committing to concrete actions and systemic changes; an Incubator, that pilots, fosters, and scales innovative business practices; and an Inclusive Growth Financing Forum, which mobilizes innovative finance mechanisms to advance inclusive growth projects. The coalition has published Statements on Just Transition, Living Wage and Human Rights, as well as Operational Tools like the Inclusive Sourcing Methodology, Responsible Transformation Guidelines, and the Human Rights Due Diligence Toolbox.
