Tomorrow’s Company is a not-for-profit think tank that exists to inspire and enable business to be a force for good in society. For over twenty years it has pioneered and advocated the importance of purpose, values, culture and a long-term view from within boardrooms through stewardship, across the investment chain and with senior government, impacting both policy and business practice.[citation needed]
History[edit]
The Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA) initiated a business-led inquiry in 1993 into 'the role of business in a changing world'.[1]
Following the inquiry, The Centre for Tomorrow’s Company (CTC or ‘Tomorrow’s Company’) was founded in 1996 to carry forward the work that started in the inquiry.[2]
Programme[edit]
Tomorrow's Company works with a number of organisations and individuals[3] to explore a wide range of issues from stewardship[4] to capital market reforms.[5]
Its programme comprises the following three categories: governance, leadership and stewardship.
"The success of companies in the 21st century is bound up with three interdependent sub-systems – the natural environment, the social and political system and the global economy. Global companies play a role in all three and they need all three to flourish. This is according to Tomorrow’s Company, UK. In short, planet, people and profit are inextricably intertwined"
