A PRME response to the challenge of fighting poverty: How far have we come? Where do we need to go now?

As a context for the Anti-Poverty WG, the evolving thinking and approaches to the business role in poverty alleviation are examined. The key areas of the group's work over the last decade are then discussed. This includes the research undertaken to understand the issues and challenges of integrating poverty into management education, the subsequent publications in the form of reports, books and articles and the engagement of the business community and management educators through conferences and other outreach events and activities. Finally, this paper explores the current SDG agenda to reflect on the challenges that still lie ahead.
