About ASEAN Inclusive Business Forum 2024

Inclusive businesses (IB) provide goods, services, and livelihoods on a commercially viable basis, to people living at the base of the pyramid making them part of the value chain of companies as suppliers, distributors, retailers, or customers.

 

ASEAN has been promoting IB as an integral part of its economic agenda since 2017 when its Economic Ministers endorsed the ASEAN Inclusive Business Framework urging member states to create an environment conducive to inclusive practices by businesses. 

Since then, ASEAN has organized six ASEAN Inclusive Business Summit. More importantly, in 2023, ASEAN at the 55th ASEAN Economic Ministers (AEM) Meeting, endorsed the Plan of Action for the Promotion of Inclusive Business in ASEAN (2023-2027), outlining priority areas to strengthen regional cooperation on IB, covering (i) policy advisory support to mainstream IB promotion in national economic development policies and the design of specific policy instruments identified in the Guidelines for the Promotion of Inclusive Business in ASEAN.
