ICSB Joins Global Coalition for Social Justice in Unified Effort

In a significant move towards bolstering global efforts for social justice, the International Council for Small Business (ICSB) has officially joined The Global Coalition for Social Justice. This groundbreaking initiative aims to amplify collective endeavors in urgently addressing social justice deficits and accelerating the implementation of key global agendas, including the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Sustainable Development Goals, and the Decent Work Agenda.

Expressing admiration for the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) pivotal role in advancing social justice, decent work, and sustainable development, the ICSB emphasizes its strong partnership with the ILO, marked by collaborative initiatives, including those in Egypt. Recent collaborations with key figures such as Mr. Dragan Radic, Chief of the Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Branch of the ILO, and Amber Barth, Director of the ILO Office for the United States and Canada, have further solidified the commitment to address crucial intersections of trade and labor rights, ensuring protection and resilience for MSMEs and their employees.

Aligned with shared values and aspirations, the ICSB formally announces its membership in the Coalition, leveraging its expertise in MSMEs to contribute significantly to its objectives. With a focus on leading thematic areas such as trade and labor in MSMEs, the ICSB aims to drive positive change by leveraging experience and networks.

Moreover, the ICSB pledges to spearhead initiatives to significantly advance social justice, particularly by safeguarding and enhancing resilience for MSMEs and their employees. Whether pursued independently or in collaboration with partners, these initiatives underscore the commitment to fostering a more equitable and inclusive global society.

In response to the ICSB’s commitment to the Global Coalition for Social Justice, Dr. Ayman ElTarabishy, President & CEO of ICSB, stated, “Our collaboration with the Global Coalition for Social Justice underscores our unwavering dedication to advancing social justice and fostering a more inclusive global society. Through collective action and collaboration, we are poised to make meaningful strides towards a world where every individual, regardless of background, has the opportunity to thrive.”
