Global Citizen Capital | Council for Inclusive Capitalism

Global Citizen Capital is the impact arm of an Asian multi-family office venture, supported by China-based China Orient Group, Hong Kong-based SHK Group and a few others. As a socially-conscious and entrepreneurial enterprise, GCC is involved with supporting innovative and scalable startups, in alignment with the United Nations and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (“SDGs”) in mind. Global Citizen Capital has been recognized by the World Economic Forum as Hong Kong’s enterprise with three memberships: i) UpLink Innovator (crowdsourcing innovation to deliver on the SDGs), ii) Global Innovator (accelerating frontier technologies to further digital transformation) and iii) Global Alliance for Social Entreprenurship (driving multi-capital empowerment to impact-led enterprises)

Purpose

Global Citizen Capital operates a multi-capital framework in alignment with the philosophy of a sustainable circular economy: an industrial system that is restorative or regenerative by intention and design. It replaces the end-of-life concept with restoration, shifts towards the use of renewable energy, eliminates the use of toxic chemicals, which impair reuse and return to the biosphere, and aims for the elimination of waste through the superior design of materials, products, systems and business models, in adherence to the SDGs.

We believe it is vital to state clearly to the world the set of our beliefs about Inclusive Capitalism. As such, we start with our Statement of Guiding Principles for Inclusive Capitalism. Knowing that words alone are not enough, each of us is making a series of commitments about how we will operate our institutions so that they help achieve Inclusive Capitalism. These commitments are forward-looking statements based on current goals, expectations and assumptions, which are not guarantees of future performance.

Summary

Echoing the UN resolution passed in April 2023 on the Social and Solidarity Economy, Global Citizen Capital aims to mobilize its funding sources to direct capital to support organizations advancing the work of all these nine pillars across Asia Pacific by 2030.

Activities & Initiatives

To drive multi-stakeholder action, Global Citizen Capital aims to partner with leading organizations, both public and private, to create a platform to educate, collect and mobilize financial and non-financial resources to drive holistic implementation of the Social and Solidarity Economy Agenda. Each year, Global Citizen Capital will measure capital allocated to each of the pillars - for investments which covers more than one pillar, the representative amount will be reflected as a percentage on a best-calculated basis. As more pillars are invested, it is expected to see exponential growth in support and impact for the social and solidarity economy.

Measures & Targets

Allocating no less than USD 100m in impact capital to all nine building blocks (as per OECD Report) of the social and solidarity economy across Asia Pacific by 2030
