What the Forum is
A decade connecting those who transform the market
The International Corporate Racial Equity Forum was born from the vision of bringing together companies and institutions from around the world. Over ten years, our purpose has been clear: to spread good practices, understand challenges and market trends, and encourage propositional actions that promote a truly sustainable corporate environment.
Held annually, the event has consolidated itself as an essential meeting point for leaders of the country’s largest companies, renowned national and international authorities and specialists, a stage for deep debates, strategic reflections and constant updates toward the best corporate practices.
