Make Ethical Investment Real

As the global climate change crisis deepens, there is a growing and urgent emphasis on how we all respond to this uniquely dangerous predicament facing our people and our planet. One highly significant factor is where society chooses to invest its money, an issue that is now fundamental to the future of our planet and our people. It might be simplified as a dichotomy between responsibility and return. Our consultation proposed to define a process by which an ethical investment policy can be created and enacted. Board members Richard Collier-Keywood and Hugh Montgomery were the instigators of this Consultation.

Global Food Systems

Global Food Systems – Report

Building on our 2022 Consultation, this gathering took place as its starting point the view that food systems are at the crossroads of pathways for net zero climate goals, a nature-positive future, and combatting the related and growing global inequalities in poverty and human health. Yet, despite an overwhelming rational case for change, civil society is failing to counter entrenched narratives which reinforce large-scale, industrial food production and processing. Our purpose is to begin to find a pathway through the problem.

Collaborative System Leadership for Social Purpose

Collaborative System Leadership for Social Purpose – Report

Governments and the public sector can only do so much to support the public in improving their health and wellbeing. The future depends on more co-design of health & wellbeing action by the people who use it most and those who miss out on services available. The pace and scale of Government and the public sector sharing their planning, service design and budgeting powers and control must change radically. Consultation explored the role of civic society in supporting people to improve their daily lives; considered the challenges facing those who work in this area and identified ‘what works’ in overcoming them; and discussed how system leaders can create maximum impact.
