Business Call To Action Case Studies
Inclusive business is a growing international movement. Across a range of industries commercially-viable business ventures that engage low-income people as consumers, producers, suppliers, and distributors of goods and services are being formed. Included below are three case studies documented by the *Business Call to Action demonstrating best practice examples of inclusive business initiatives.
The Coca Cola Company: Enabling Jobs and Opportunity This Business Call to Action case study takes a close look at the Coca-Cola Company's efforts to significantly expand its network of locally owned, low-cost micro distribution outlets (MDCs) to provide employment opportunities and contribute to gender equality in base of the pyramid markets across Africa. | Thomson Reuters: Removing Barriers to Growth in Agriculture Reuters Market Light, Thomson Reuters’ news and advisory service for farmers, leverages the company’s core business to reduce poverty and hunger among India’s rural farmers and promote sustainable economic growth in the agricultural sector. | Vodafone: Expanding Access to Financial Services Vodafone, through its Business Call to Action initiative, is working to increase access to financial services, drive small-scale enterprise, and stimulate economic growth in key emerging markets through its Vodafone Money Transfer platform known in Kenya, Tanzania, Fiji, Afghanistan, and South Africa. |
