Global leaders, including presidents, chairmen, CEOs of the world’s top companies and also prestigious economists were addressed by Pope Francis when they met at the Vatican yesterday for the 2016 Fortune/Time Global Forum
The unprecedented gathering convened select global Fortune 500 CEOs, members of the Time 100 and non-profit, academic, religious and labour leaders to address the need for a global economic system that both encourages growth and spreads its benefits more broadly.
The two-day conference culminated in an address by His Holiness Pope Francis.
Inspired by the Pope’s call for more and better jobs, broader prosperity and lasting ways to lift the poor, the theme of the 2016 Global Forum is “The 21st Century Challenge: Forging a New Social Compact.”
The event is a solutions-based conversation aimed at encouraging transformative actions by the private sector to help create a more inclusive and humane economy and aid in eradicating poverty and the refugee problem around the world.
