Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism

April 8, 2021

The Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism and more than 50 impact-oriented organizations led by U.S. Impact Investing Alliance and B Lab are calling for the creation of a White House Initiative on Inclusive Economic Growth to reshape and rebuild our economy so that it works for all. The proposed Initiative would support the Biden-Harris Administration’s efforts to address three monumental crises facing our nation: the COVID-19 economic fallout, a widening racial wealth gap, and climate change.

The Initiative on Inclusive Economic Growth would prioritize a set of necessary and long overdue structural reforms to our economy and capital markets, including:

A shift from shareholder primacy to stakeholder capitalism, including financial market reforms that change the rules and incentives for corporations and investors to ensure they account for their impact on all stakeholders, and not just shareholders; and

A renewed focus on community investing that builds generational wealth and creates new jobs and opportunities in Black, Brown, Tribal, rural, and otherwise underserved communities.
