About Forum for the Future

Forum for the Future is an independent non-profit that works globally with business, government and other organisations to solve complex sustainability challenges.

We aim to transform the critical systems that we all depend on, such as food and energy, to make them fit for the challenges of the 21st century. We have nearly 20 years’ experience inspiring new thinking, building creative partnerships and developing practical innovations to change our world. We share what we learn from our work so that others can become more sustainable.

System innovation is at the heart of our strategy. One of our key approaches is creating innovation coalitions, bringing together groups to solve bigger sustainability challenges - including those that work across whole value chains. Another of our approaches is helping pioneering businesses go further, faster.

Discover our stories and what we’ve learned about building a sustainable world at forumforthefuture.org, or follow us on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.

The Forum for the Future is a non-profit company limited by guarantee and registered in England and Wales.
