It is what the World Economic Forum was founded for 50 years ago, and it is what we want to contribute to for the next 50 years," Schwab said.The forum's first meeting in 1971 was established to further the idea put forward by Professor Schwab that business should serve all stakeholders -– customers, employees, communities, as well as shareholders.It was reaffirmed in 1973 in the 'Davos Manifesto', a document that has shaped the work of the WEF ever since.In a major update, this year's annual meeting will see the publication of a universal 'ESG scorecard' (for environmental, social and governance parameters) by the WEF's International Business Council, which is currently chaired by Brian Moynihan, CEO of Bank of America.
