The Vatican said it’s joining Bank of America Corp.’s Brian Moynihan, Salesforce.com Inc.’s Marc Benioff and about 25 other leaders in an effort to create “a more equitable and sustainable economic system.”
The Council for Inclusive Capitalism with the Vatican is comprised of executives, who collectively run companies employing 200 million workers in 163 countries. The group will meet annually with Pope Francis and Cardinal Peter Turkson, who oversees the Vatican’s Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, according to a statement posted Tuesday.
