The webinar will discuss what external challenges companies face in developing, sustaining and scaling successful inclusive business models and what approaches they use to overcome the barriers leading to commercial success and development outcomes.

Moderated by Caroline Ashley and Tom Harrison of the Practitioner Hub on Inclusive Business, the webinar will feature feature a panel of experts consisting of the members of the Business Call to Action and the UN Global Compact.
