Ethical Capitalism & Inclusive Growth Forum

This quarterly forum interrogates the role of capitalism in a just, equitable, and sustainable Global South future. The Ethical Capitalism & Inclusive Growth Forum convenes economists, ESG leaders, policymakers, grassroots entrepreneurs, and indigenous voices to redefine success beyond GDP—focusing on dignity, sustainability, and resilience. With growing inequality and planetary boundaries being tested, this event provides a safe space to co-create models of regenerative economies rooted in local knowledge and global accountability. The forum is designed to catalyze new ESG standards, impact capital flows, and grassroots enterprise incubation across BRICS and Global South nations. Outcomes from each event feed into a dynamic Ethical Capitalism Index published annually.

Event Agenda Highlights:

• Fireside with Ethical Business Icons: Global South entrepreneurs and investors share personal journeys building profitable, equitable businesses with a conscience.
• The Inclusive Capital Hackathon: Real-time ideation between multilateral agencies, banks, and communities to design financial tools for marginalized entrepreneurs.
• Circular Economy Playbook Launch: Release of actionable toolkits for industries to integrate regenerative practices without compromising profit.
