Inspired by the Pope’s call for more and better jobs, broader
prosperity and lasting ways to lift the poor, the theme of the 2016
Global Forum was “The 21st Century Challenge: Forging a New Social
Compact.” The event centered on a solutions-based conversation
aimed at encouraging transformative actions by the private sector
to help create a more inclusive and humane economy and aid in
eradicating poverty and in solving the refugee problem around the
world. The first day of the forum included topic-area discussions
and working group sessions on these subjects at the Westin
Excelsior Hotel in Rome. Attendees produced an extensive report,
including more than twenty solutions, which was presented to His
Holiness Pope Francis at the Vatican today.
In a letter to His Holiness Pope Francis leading the report,
Time Inc. Chief Content Officer and Fortune Editor-in-Chief Alan
Murray and Time Inc. News Group Editorial Director Time
Editor-in-Chief Nancy Gibbs write, “By their policies and
practices, by the actions of their employees and their suppliers,
and by the example they set as leaders, these CEOs and their
companies have the power to do much good in the
world. … In addition to stimulating the efforts of the
people who are here, we hope that the work of this group will
inspire other business leaders and company heads to take similar
actions.”
