Defining Success Across Generations to build a sustainable future:

Family businesses are essential to building a transformative and sustainable future:

• Worldwide, they account for two-thirds of businesses, employ 60% of the workforce and contribute over 70% of global GDP.
• Given this predominance and their inherent focus on long-term success, family businesses are well-positioned to lead the way in creating a more purpose-driven model of business. Whether it is through practices that drive social and economic impact or ones that help regenerate the environment, family businesses are having a positive impact on their communities.
• As the world leading FB organization, FBN acts as the collective voice of business families and plays an increasing influential role in promoting family business models in society.
