Join the ASEAN Inclusivity Collective
The BMCC is a proud supporting partner of the ASEAN Inclusivity Collective.
The ASEAN Inclusivity Collective (AIC) is a business response to the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC) vision of inclusivity, anti-discrimination, and prevention of harassment. It aims to foster a sustainable and equitable community where all individuals are empowered to contribute meaningfully, aligning with the ASCC Blueprint 2025.
The AIC supports human rights, social protection, and equitable access to opportunities, ensuring businesses actively participate in shaping an inclusive, resilient, and sustainable ASEAN. In conjunction with Malaysia’s ASEAN Chairmanship 2025, ASEAN-BAC Malaysia is delighted to partner with LeadWomen to launch the ASEAN Inclusivity Collective to share best practices, inspire innovation, and collectively address challenges to inclusivity – with a vision to invite businesses across ASEAN to strive towards an ASEAN Inclusivity Pledge over time.
This initiative is well aligned with the MADANI Vision of Malaysian Prime Minister The Honorable Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim, centring on promoting progressive economic development, social justice and harmony.
