Reinventing the way the world works.

Forum for the Future is a leading global sustainability non-profit.

For over 20 years we’ve been working in partnership with business, governments and civil society to accelerate the shift toward a sustainable future.

Climate change, poverty, malnutrition, civic unrest: the world today is facing complex challenges because our fundamental systems are broken.

We specialise in addressing critical global challenges by catalysing change in key systems, from food to apparel, energy to shipping.

We do this by convening transformational collaborations to drive change, by partnering with organisations to help them lead by example, and by building a global community of pioneers and change makers.

Together we can reinvent the way the world works.

Characteristics of a sustainable business model

Over the last year a new term has been rising up – the sustainable business model.
