Pope Francis says business has the power and experience to help suffering people and to help tackle crises worldwide, including the pandemic and war.
The Pope thanked them for their visit and work, before turning his attention to the numerous challenges plaguing the world, and suggesting three ways they can promote a more humane, just, and fraternal world.The first, the Pope said,"is always to remain aware that you can leave a mark." “A good question to ask yourselves when evaluating what is and what is not effective would be: 'What kind of world do we want to leave for our children and grandchildren?'”
In the meantime, he also deplored,"our planet continued to suffer from the effects of climate change; cruel and hidden wars were being fought in various regions, and tens of millions of people have been forced to migrate from their homelands." “Today’s consultants, aware of their role, are called to propose and discuss new directions for new challenges.”
