Inclusive economic growth – the kind that is equitable, sustainable and leads to shared prosperity for all – is one of the defining issues of our time. But, what do inclusive economies look like, and what would it mean for billions of people around the world? In this plenary, experts offer clear framing on what inclusive growth means, why it matters and what purpose-driven leaders from across business, government and nonprofits can do to build more inclusive economies.

For almost a decade, Mastercard has been on a journey to reimagine the role of large, multinational corporations to be a force for good in the world. Recognizing that global problems require private and public sectors to work together and move beyond conventional philanthropic responses, CEO Ajay Banga put Mastercard’s core competencies and assets to work for the common good, and that, in turn, has become good for business. This journey from Corporate Social Responsibility to Commercially Sustainable Social Impact (CSSI) has mobilized resources and leaders from across sectors to achieve change at scale. Renowned journalist Tina Brown engages Banga in a conversation about how ‘doing well by doing good’ has become business as usual at Mastercard.

Inclusive Growth: What It Is and Why It Matters link
Over the last 75 years, more than one billion people have been lifted out of extreme poverty, and a global middle class has emerged. Yet, deepening wealth and information inequality pose threats to the long-term stability and security of nations and societies. Achieving inclusive growth will require a reimagining of existing institutions and systems and the creation of entirely new fields such as “technology for purpose” and “data science for good.” What does it mean to grow inclusively? How can we build new models of economic development that improve opportunities for more people and at scale?
