At the World Economics Forum 2020, Professor Klaus Schwab announces a new Davos Manifesto 2020 to reimagine the purpose and scorecards for companies and governments for the next 50 years (2021 to 2070).

” People are revolting against the economic ‘elites’ they believe have betrayed them “

Professor Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman at the World Economic Forum 2020 highlighted the world is at a critical crossroad with people revolting against the economic “elites” they believed have betrayed them.  Efforts to keep global warming limited to 1.5°C are also falling dangerously short.

Professor Klaus Schwab: “With the world at such critical crossroads, this year we must develop a ‘Davos Manifesto 2020’ to reimagine the purpose and scorecards for companies and governments.  It is what the World Economic Forum was founded for 50 years ago, and it is what we want to contribute to for the next 50 years”

” Companies should pay their fair share of taxes “

The World Economics Forum will release a new Davos Manifesto – which states that companies should pay their fair share of taxes, show zero tolerance for corruption, uphold human rights throughout their global supply chains, and advocate for a competitive level playing field.

This year’s Annual Meeting also see the publication of a universal “ESG scorecard” by the Forum’s International Business Council, which is currently chaired by Brian Moynihan, Chief Executive Officer of Bank of America.

~ ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance

Summary

  • People are revolting against the economic “elites”
  • Global warming at 1.5°C target is failing
  • New Davos Manifesto for the Next 50 years
  • Launch of Universal ESG Scorecard

 

The Forum’s first meeting in 1971 was established to further the idea put forward by Professor Klaus Schwab that business should serve all stakeholders – customers, employees, communities, as well as shareholders.  He created the “stakeholder theory” which means that company should serve all its stakeholders including employees, suppliers, and the community it is part, and not just only its shareholders.  This “stakeholder capitalism” became the guiding principle of the World Economic Forum.

Since the founding in 1971, the World Economic Forum had been held annually in Davos, Switzerland.  (In 2002, the forum was held in New York as respect and support for United States and the victims of the 911 terror attack) Davos is a town in Switzerland, and is home to one of the largest & most popular ski resort in the Swiss Alps & Switzerland.

About the World Economic Forum

 

The World Economic Forum

The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation. Established in 1971 as a not-for-profit foundation and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, it is independent, impartial and not tied to any special interests.

In the early 1970s, the Cold War between United States and Russia had split the world while the Vietnam war split America.  With a growing oil crisis in 1970s, a German economics professor and engineer founded the World Economic Forum.

The World Economic Forum was founded by Professor Klaus Schwab, an engineer and economist in 1971. He created the “stakeholder theory” which means that company should serve all its stakeholders including employees, suppliers, and the community it is part, and not just only its shareholders.  The vision for this socially responsible “stakeholder capitalism” became the guiding principle of the World Economic Forum.

He chose Davos as the home for the annual meeting for the escape from the everyday that the mountains represent in Swiss and German culture.  This year in 2020, the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland held its 50th annual meeting.
