Business Leadership for an Inclusive Economy

As the primary engine of the economy, business has a fundamental role, responsibility, and self-interest in ensuring that people benefit from and participate in the economy. For this reason, BSR is kicking off Business Leadership for an Inclusive Economy, a new initiative to catalyze business action to enable and empower all segments of society to meet their needs, shape their futures, and achieve their potential.
