About the Future-Fit Foundation
Our vision is a Future-Fit Society – one which protects the possibility that humans and other life will flourish on Earth forever, by being environmentally restorative, socially just and economically inclusive. Given where we are today, this vision can only be realised through a rapid and radical shift in the way our economy works. Our mission is to catalyze this shift – by translating systems science into practical free-to-use tools designed to help business leaders, investors and policy makers respond effectively to today’s biggest challenges. A wealth of literature already exists on how our economic system has to change. But companies and investors are struggling to make sense of what it all means for them. That’s where we come in. We collate and curate the most credible and robust third-party resources into one unified methodology – the Future-Fit Business Benchmark – that any business can use to guide, measure and report on real progress.
