Better Business.Stronger Societies.
Capitalism, designed well, can lift people out of poverty, and power global innovation and growth. Yet tackling today’s global challenges requires greater partnership across business, policy and society. To serve people and the planet for the long term, capitalism must also adapt and take the lead in finding solutions to benefit all stakeholders – not only those at the top.

The Moment
Capitalism is facing a historic pivot point, one defined by the rapid deployment of AI, against the backdrop of widening wealth disparity.
The question that inspired the Council remains open and more relevant than ever:
How can leaders practically mobilize the will and the tools to expand the benefits of capitalism more equitably?
The Council’s Role
The Council’s convening strategy has given rise to an influential network committed to private-sector reform and market-backed policy for more inclusive growth.
The Council’s approach aligns business, capital and policy around shared goals to create systems-level change:
Convening global CEOs, institutional investors and civic leaders for real-world impact.
From Concept to
Market-Led Reform
The Council convenes business, investment, and policy leaders to identify convergence around inclusive capitalism, and transform those ideals into practical initiatives, frameworks and tools for action. This work has helped advance market-led reform that creates long-term value while addressing inequality, sustainability and economic transition.

Where we’re focused
As deployment of AI accelerates, leaders face a defining challenge: How to harness the technology’s potential to advance growth, while responsibly managing the potential for workforce dislocations and widening inequality.
Broadly shared prosperity is possible, even in periods of dislocation, when workers have meaningful opportunities to participate in the market and build wealth through employee ownership and broad-based equity policies.
An Inclusive Capitalism that leaves no one behind, that discards none of our brothers or sisters, is a noble aspiration, worthy of your best efforts.

Let’s work together
The Council for Inclusive Capitalism was founded in 2014 on the belief that only through collective action can good ideas transform into policy and practice. By mobilizing influential leaders across sectors, The Council works to advance an economic system which places workers, families and community alongside shareholders in the creation of long-term value.
