What is inclusive capitalism?

We consider that inclusive capitalism is fundamentally about creating long-term value for all stakeholders – businesses, investors, employees, customers, governments and communities – guided by an approach that provides:

Equality of opportunity
for all people to pursue prosperity and quality of life, irrespective of criteria such as socio-economic background, gender, ethnicity, religion or age

Equitable outcomes for those who have the same opportunities and seize them in the same way

Fairness across generations
so that one generation does not overburden the planet or realize near-term benefits that incur long-term costs, at the cost of future generations

Fairness in society
to those whose circumstances prevent them from full economic participation
