First Global Report (2008) — Released 1 July 2008
“Creating Value for All: Strategies for Doing Business with the Poor”
The first groundbreaking report of the UNDP Growing Inclusive Markets Initiative, the ‘Creating Value for All: Strategies for Doing Business with the Poor’ report was launched in July 2008. The first report with such depth and local knowledge, ‘Creating Value for All’ showcases 50 studies of inclusive business models prepared by researchers predominantly from developing countries. These case studies demonstrate the successful pursuit of both revenues and social impact by local and international small- and medium-sized companies, as well as multinational corporations that include the poor on the demand side, for example as clients and customers, and/or on the supply side, for example as entrepreneurs, producers, traders and employees.
