An economy where everyone can fully participate and have fair access to resources and opportunities is foundational to a more inclusive, equitable, and stable society. The private sector plays a critical role in creating economic inclusion through their workforce policies and programs, supply chain and procurement practices, products and services, community investments, corporate purpose and more.

Join FSG and the Shared Value Initiative on Tuesday, October 11 from 12-1pm ET for a virtual webinar featuring Kathleen McLaughlin, Executive Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer, Walmart Inc. and President, Walmart Foundation in conversation with April Chou, Chief Strategic Growth Officer of OneTen. This event will also feature framing comments from Lynette Bell, President, Truist Foundation, and is hosted by Shumeca Pickett, Managing Director, FSG.

From this session you will learn about:

- How the private sector can advance greater economic inclusion by getting into relationship with the problem and the people it impacts

- How getting specific about the issues a company tackles creates greater impact

- Where innovation can play a role in addressing economic inclusion

- The leadership required to shift mindsets and enable the conditions for real change
