The objective of this publication is to inform policymakers and other stakeholders on the development of new business models that support sustainable and inclusive development. The new forms of enterprises allow markets to channel investments to populations at the base of the economic pyramid and to promote more balanced growth. The publication focuses on business, policy and legal frameworks in ASEAN and it may be particularly useful for policymakers in the Asia-Pacific region while also providing valuable insights for policymakers globally. The publication is an extract from the Report on Advancing Enabling Policy Environments for Inclusive Businesses in ASEAN, which was prepared as part of the work of ESCAP and the Inclusive Business Action Network to support Governments enhance the policy environment for inclusive business.
