2025 Asia Inclusive and Responsible Business Forum
11 – 12 February 2025, Bangkok, Thailand
BACKGROUND
Asia is the fastest-growing region in the world, and the private sector clearly plays a critical role in developing Asian economies. Yet it is also a contributor to the compounding crises of increasing inequality, climate change, and environmental destruction. The private sector can, however, be a powerful force for change when people and the planet are put at the heart of business practices, eventually promoting sustainable development, and reducing inequalities.
To encourage adoption of Inclusive and Responsible Business (IRB), Oxfam in Asia organized the first ever Asia IRB Forum just under two years ago, in February 2023. This event brought together the private sector, civil society organizations (CSOs), and other key stakeholders for an exchange and learning journey towards business models that champion social and environmental sustainability and contribute to the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The 2023 Asia IRB Forum was well received and provided a space to listen, discuss, and brainstorm on opportunities and challenges. The dialogues and interaction between private sector companies of different sizes, from micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) to large multinational corporations (MNCs), and diverse civic actors, proved particularly valuable.
Next year, from 11 – 12 February 2025, Oxfam in Asia, in collaboration with Sal Forest and other affiliates, will once again hold the Asia IRB Forum in Bangkok, Thailand, with the support from the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs through the ‘FAIR for ALL’ program. The 2025 Asia IRB Forum aims to continue the conversations and connections that began two years ago, and to keep up the momentum, as part of the longer-term drive for adoption of IRB. Please see the concept note in Annex 1 for full event details.
