About the organization: The Group of Fifty (G50) was founded 18 years ago under the auspices of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and is a membership based organization formed by executives from the most significant and forward-looking enterprises in Latin America. This independent, non-profit initiative has no partisan, ideological, religious or commercial affiliations of any kind. Its members are leaders who recognize that in addition to generating profits, their businesses must also minimize social ills and inequities and foster long-term, sustainable growth. Over the years, the group has become a leading forum for exchanging ideas and experiences in response to the political, economic and social trends affecting the Western Hemisphere and the world.
