Next, local businesses need to play the following roles:
1. Advertise their respective products and services in GESE.
2. Contribute as much as possible to zakat, charity, waqf and any
form of donation (Esa et al., 2018). Credit ratings will increase in
the GESE system based on donations and charitable works.
3. Advertise vacancies to find suitable candidates, with the intention
of helping those individuals categorized as poor. A credit rating
will also be given to corporate companies and local businesses that
help to provide job opportunities to the poor.
4. Provide financial information and business plans to explore new
capital fund opportunities. Excellent business performances
shown in the system will allow potential investors to invest in local
businesses for the purpose of business development.

Finally, community members can contribute to this new world by
performing the following duties and responsibilities:
1. Community leaders and local communities will help the vulnerable,
especially with registering on the GESE system. This situation may
especially occur in third world countries that lack access to
technology.
2. Invite the public to buy goods and services for consumption from
corporate entities/local businesses that are recognized as
contributors to socioeconomics, based on their respective credit
ratings.
