Research Context and Overview

Innovating for Equity: Unlocking Value for Communities and Businesses is a report by the Schwab Foundation’s Global Alliance for Social Entrepreneurship, Echoing Green, and Dalberg Advisors, with support from the GHR Foundation. The report focuses on the untapped economic value resulting from the economic exclusion of racially and ethnically marginalized communities.

The report features six case studies of social enterprise leaders who have effectively partnered with corporations and governments, providing critical lessons on how to drive value creation by addressing systemic economic exclusion. These leaders are scaling solutions in ways that align social value with commercial opportunity.
