The Business with Refugees Forum
A joint initiative of UNHCR and UN Global Compact in Brazil, the Business with Refugees Forum was launched in 2021 and has grown to include almost 100 members, comprising private companies and business organizations. This Forum focuses on promoting corporate involvement in the refugee cause by facilitating the exchange of experiences, sharing best practices, and providing technical knowledge for refugees' inclusion in the labor market. Through monthly workshops and additional training sessions, Forum members have hired at least 8,500 refugees and migrants, providing training to an additional 1,500 to support their labor inclusion. UNHCR plays a crucial role in coordinating Global Refugee Forum pledges through the Forum, assisting businesses in formulating pledges with hiring targets, and providing ongoing monitoring.
