On 6 September 2022, the Global Foundation convened a decisive online gathering of people of influence from many walks of life and parts of the world, including the USA, China, Europe, the UK, Australia, Indonesia and the Pacific.

Representatives from the world’s most influential employer and consumer goods bodies spoke alongside some of the world’s top economists, trade union leaders, mining innovators, financial minds and faith and community leaders. The group carried forward a mandate to support fundamental reform of the international financial system, and to uphold the Assisi Accord – to harness finance to address climate change, in pursuit of global peace, prosperity, and equality.

Originally tabled at the Assisi and Rome Roundtable of the Global Foundation in May 2022, the Assisi Accord continues to gather signatories from leaders in business, faiths, not-for-profit organisations, academia and communities across the globe.
