We are a leadership forum, bringing together CEOs and C-suite to develop novel initiatives to transform business and we are a network of practitioners, promoting per learning and partnership building.  

Priorities

Our approach is based on one-to-one engagement and collective action through our campaigns, the Low Carbon Pledge and ELEVATE Inclusive Workplace Pledge.
