Launched Tuesday by Pope Francis, the Council for Inclusive Capitalism With the Vatican is a partnership “between some of the world’s largest investment and business leaders and the Vatican … to reform capitalism into a powerful force for the good of humanity.”
The council, whose founding was spearheaded by Lynn Forester de Rothschild, is “led by a core group of global leaders, known as Guardians for Inclusive Capitalism, who meet annually with Pope Francis” to “build a fairer, more inclusive, and sustainable economic foundation for the world.”
The Guardians have made public commitments “to hundreds of measurable actions” toward sustainable development goals in areas such as “climate action, peace and justice, quality education and gender equality.”
In his first address to the Guardians after the launch of the Council, Pope Francis said:
“An economic system that is fair, trustworthy, and capable of addressing the most profound challenges facing humanity and our planet is urgently needed. You have taken up the challenge by seeking ways to make capitalism become a more inclusive instrument for integral human wellbeing.”
de Rothschild said:
“Capitalism has created enormous global prosperity, but it has also left too many people behind, led to degradation of our planet, and is not widely trusted in society. This Council will follow the warning from Pope Francis to listen to ‘the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor’ and answer society’s demands for a more equitable and sustainable model of growth.”
According to the NYT however, the pledges made by the Council aren’t entirely new:
“BP, for example, restates a commitment to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050 that it announced in February. And while the council has posted the pledges publicly, there’s not much to hold the companies accountable (aside from the risk of disappointing the pope).”
