Our joint study program with the Brookings Institution held a hybrid event to celebrate the publication of the new volume “For World’s Profit: How Business Can Support Sustainable Development ” on Jan. 10, 2025 at the Brookings Institution in Washington, DC.
The book explores how businesses can contribute to overall global prosperity through their focused pursuit of profits. Following the opening remarks by John W McArthur (Senior Fellow at and Director of the Center for Sustainable Development, Brookings Institution) and Miyahara Chie (Director General of the JICA Ogata Research Institute), Homi Kharas (Senior Fellow at Brookings Institution and Research Partner at the JICA Ogata Research Institute) gave an outline of the book.

With Jane Nelson (Nonresident Senior Fellow at Brookings Institution and Senior Research fellow at the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government, Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government) serving as the moderator, the contributors to the book, including a social entrepreneur and a financial actor, discussed how business leaders, financial actors, policymakers, and regulators can contribute to an ecosystem where the targeted pursuit of business profits can better add up to the world’s profit. As a co-editor, Makino Koji (Visiting Fellow at the JICA Ogata Research Institute and Professor at Kyoto University) also shared his insights during the discussion.
