About the initiative

The Inclusive Business Pledge has been piloted in Singapore since 2018. The initiative is the result of Be Inclusive’s participation in Singtel’s Futuremakers incubator for social enterprise. Over 100 companies have signed the pledge including 99.co, Airbnb, PayPal and Twitter to name a few. After completing an evaluation of the pilot and surviving a Covid 19-related hiatus, Be Inclusive is making a fresh start in 2021 by rebranding as Inclusively.  Inclusively will relaunch the Inclusive Business Pledge in October 2021 with the immediate goal of increasing support and recognition of pledge signatories while raising public awareness of the pledge programme in Singapore and across Asia in the long-term.
