As an international development agency, our commitment is clear: Strengthening small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) as the backbone of our region’s economy.

Promoting inclusive business models helps create more competitive, resilient and fairer markets where MSMEs can integrate into global value or supply chains. Through the ASEAN Access portal (www.aseanaccess.com), we facilitate access to information, networks and new markets for MSMEs in ASEAN – including knowledge-sharing on more sustainable and socially responsible business practices.

Obviously Sustainable takes great pride in its involvement in the 6th ASEAN Inclusive Business Summit of 2023.

Our aim is to act as a catalyst and facilitator, fostering the adoption of the IB model by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to enhance their business expansion and generate meaningful effects across all tiers of the business hierarchy.

The GSG , together with its National Advisory Boards (NABs) and Impact Investment Taskforces in Asia-Pacific will develop an impact economy and strengthen enabling environment for inclusive businesses through policy interventions, innovative financing mechanisms, and market building initiatives to drive capital towards inclusive businesses in the region.
