  • Education | Tomorrow's Company

    Since 2020, Tomorrow’s Company has been delivering business education programmes for young people in the UK aged up to 19 years old. Our two pioneering programmes form part of our vision for business to be a force for good in the society by both teaching the potency of business to solve some of the world’s biggest challenges and by enabling businesses to achieve meaningful and impactful engagement with the next generation of employees, leaders and change-makers.  EDUCATION Our programmes Since 2020, Tomorrow’s Company has been delivering business education programmes for young people in the UK aged up to 19 years old. Our two pioneering programmes form part of our vision for business to be a force for good in society by encouraging future-focused entrepreneurship and fostering an enterprising mindset among the next generation of decision makers and employees. Our school programme is also an excellent way for businesses to play a vital role in the coaching and mentoring of essential skills in young people most in need of support in deprived areas of the UK. In 2025, Tomorrow's Company launched a foundation committed to furthering our beliefs and ethos among the next generation of employees, business leaders and entrepreneurs. The 'Tomorrow's Enterprise Foundation' will be a dedicated division of our charity focusing on three key areas: Reinvigorating the teaching of business education using our many decades of research and work in this area Inspiring and nurturing the next generation of entrepreneurs and business leaders Improving employment opportunities for young people most in need Our programme for schools ‘Project Can Do‘ is a pioneering business and enterprise coaching programme for young people aged between 14 to 16. It is delivered in schools and academies in some of the more deprived regions of the UK. It has been designed in partnership with educators, business experts, local authorities and young people to create a educational experience that bridges the gap between education and employment. Project Can Do has been proven to build confidence, unlock potential, develop essential skills and allows students to engage meaningfully with local organisations, employers and training providers. The key aims of Project Can are: Developing a range of transferable business and life skills for students most at risk of becoming NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training) Increasing social mobility in regions of limited opportunity Giving access to meaningful career pathways Raising student aspirations Providing effective and engaging alternative education provisions for students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Promoting good civic-minded practice and behaviour Furthering the work of Tomorrow’s Company to inspire and enable businesses to be a force for good in society. “To us, entrepreneurship and enterprise is about much more than just starting a business – it instils life skills such as the ability to think creatively and ambitiously. It’s about engaging with the world around you, being curious, embracing failure, identifying challenges and seizing opportunities. Entrepreneurial skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, and resilience are life skills that will help young people to thrive in all areas of their life. Whether it's a journey of entrepreneurship or a pathway to purposeful employment, all young people should be given the head start they need to be happy, to flourish and to help create a world that we can all be proud of. ” Jonathan Maguire Programme Director, Tomorrow's Company Academy Over the course of eight highly-engaging workshops students learn, practice and master a portfolio of essential skills, including teamwork, leadership, communication, resilience and problem solving. These skills are introduced during the first half of the programme and then put into action when the teams are tasked with designing and developing an enterprising idea that enhances their local community. On the final day of the programme, the teams present their enterprise ideas to a room of their peers, teachers and members of the local community. The teams are supported and mentored during the final half of the programme to create a fully-formed business plan and coached to present their ideas to a professional standard. This final presentation day is usually held off-site in the offices of one of our local partners. This provides students an opportunity to experience a professional environment, to meet the employees and to learn about the job functions and potential career paths within that organisation.

  • Our work | Tomorrow's Company

    Tomorrow’s Company is an independent, not-for-profit think tank dedicated to inspiring and enabling business to be a force for good in society. We do that through three key streams of work, our projects, our events, and our publications. OUR WORK Research and Publications We conduct large-scale and ambitious workstreams that bring together our focus on research and innovation. The common thread that connects all the work of Tomorrow’s Company is a belief in the human purposes of business. Our primary audiences have stayed the same: Business leaders Investors Government Regulators Policymakers, and Educators Business leadership In the original RSA Tomorrow’s Company Inquiry report we focused on business leadership. We developed the idea of an inclusive approach to business success. (See About Us - Our History ) This was widely taken up and its fruits can be seen today in the number of people and organisations championing Purposeful business. In 2007 we published Tomorrow’s Global Company – challenges and choices. In our original (1995) report we had made popular the concept - previously only used in extractive industries of a ‘licence to operate’. In the 2007 inquiry, a group of leaders of global companies and civil society organisations called for global companies to be proactive in ‘expanding the space’ they shared with civil society organisations and governments on issues from climate to human rights. This led later to work on Tomorrow’s Global Talent (2010) and Tomorrow’s Global Leaders – how to ensure that women reach the top (2014). Government Our theme was taken up by the then Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in the Company Law Review. This lead to the adoption in Section 172 of the 2006 Companies Act of what was described by the DTI as an inclusive definition of directors’ duties. We refreshed our agenda for government with Promoting Long-term Wealth: Reshaping Corporate Governance (2017). In 2014 we started a campaign – which continues to this day - to persuade government to be more rigorous in public procurement and undertake due diligence into the character of the companies with which the public sector does business. Investors We went on to engage the investment community together with business leaders to develop an agenda around investment and ownership. The term ‘stewardship’ was often used in the context of a family business, but our 2008 report ‘Tomorrow’s Owners – stewardship of Tomorrow’s Company ’ suggested that stewardship was a duty of the shareholder. The publication of our report coincided with the 2008 banking crisis. The UK government initiated a review into its causes and, picking up on our work, the reviews chair Sir David Walker put the stewardship agenda at the heart of his recommendations. These included the suggestion, implemented soon afterwards and imitated around the world, for the world’s first investor stewardship code. Together with a group of investment institutions Tomorrow’s Company formed the 2020 Stewardship Group, later the Stewardship Alliance, which helped to influence regulators in improving the UK Stewardship Code and the practice of institutional investors. The report Better Stewardship (2018) summarises its work. Prompted by investors, in 2010 we published Tomorrow’s Corporate Governance: Bridging the UK Engagement Gap Through Swedish style Nomination Committees. In partnership with the then Institute for Family Business we published Family Business Stewardship in 2011. Boards, governance, culture, and risk Our ‘Lessons from Enron ’ 2002 report was groundbreaking in the agenda that it set for the role of the board in upholding values and promoting the right culture. With the help of the Good Governance Forum a powerful network of directors, chairs, company secretaries and governance experts we published practical guides and research outputs on key issues such as board purpose, culture and values, and the role of the NED. To read more about our work in this area, including, the case for the board mandate, and a guide to improving boardroom conversation, click here . The most important of these makes the case for every board to spend time defining its board mandate . Others cover board chairmanship, board evaluation, the governance of innovation risk, and culture. In 2003 we published Redefining CSR , expressing unease about the apparent, and perhaps too easy, victory of CSR. This suggested that corporate social responsibility might be too much about compliance and not enough about conviction. Twenty years on we were expressing the same anxieties about ESG . In 2013 our report on Tomorrow’s Business Forms – making the right choices of ownership, structure and governance to deliver success for business and society suggested that boards needed to keep their current model of ownership and governance under review so it was consistent with its purpose. Reporting Our agenda-setting work on reporting started in 1998 with Sooner, Sharper Simpler – a lean vision of an inclusive annual report. This in time led to further work which paved the way for the Integrated Reporting movement. Mental health and financial inclusion In 2019 nearly 2.8 million people were in work but living in poverty, and four out of every five low-paid workers fail to escape poverty after ten years in work. How can industry help to find better ways to make work pay? How can we help build financial resilience for those facing in-work poverty? How can we build a movement for change to enable this to happen? Through 2019 we held roundtable events and innovation labs with employers, providers of financial wellbeing products, and other experts in financial inclusion. The final report was launched on 30th January 2020 at a Financial Inclusion Summit, hosted by the City of London. The final publication can be found here . Education In partnership with the University of East Anglia, we started to concentrate on how students learned about business and enterprise. We partner with UEA to run a compulsory module for first year students which is focused on business as a force for good in society. By 2021 we decided to devote energy to how younger students were prepared by education for the world of work and business. Under the leadership of Jon Maguire this work has grown so well that it has become a separate charity - Tomorrow’s Enterprise Foundation . You can read more about it here . Meanwhile Tomorrow’s Company has continued its agenda setting work. Starting with its participation in the three Anthropy conferences, it has begun to bring together a growing group of organisations dedicated to responsibility and sustainability and to seek solutions at the level of the system for some of the problems that all those groups have experienced. Latest work Alongside our current developments in our education projects, there are two linked streams of work conducted by Tomorrow’s Company: 'Better Business Through Public Procurement' 'Which companies should I buy, work for and invest in?' They both carry forward the agenda setting work on purpose, values, governance, stewardship and business-as-a-force-for- good which Tomorrow’s Company has undertaken since its foundation in 1996. You can find further information on each of these streams below. This work is carried out in partnership and dialogue with leaders in business and investment, and particularly engages policymakers, NGOs, research organisations and representatives of all key stakeholders. This reinforces the work on Purposeful Business and Sustainability which Tomorrow’s Company pioneered by its original 1995 report with the RSA . The fruits of all our work over 30 years can be found on our Publications page. Better business through public procurement Ten years ago, before all the scandals associated with ‘VIP lanes’ and poor public procurement during the pandemic, Tomorrow’s Company came up with the idea of a ‘Trust Test’ by which private sector organisations could demonstrate their robustness and good character in bidding for public sector work. You can read more about The Trust Test here . Mark Goyder, Founder of Tomorrow’s Company, then chaired a working group within the British Standards Institution (BSI) which developed the idea into a British Standard 95009. The UK public sector spends over £300bn on the private sector, and the purpose of this programme of work by Tomorrow’s Company is to ensure that this spending power is used wisely. There is a huge opportunity to underpin the move towards a responsible wealth creation by applying the criteria which Tomorrow’s Company has developed. You can read more about this in Mark's blog here. Which companies should I buy, work for and invest in? In November 2023 at the Anthropy Conference, Mark Goyder of Tomorrow’s Company partnered with Michael Solomon of Responsible 100 to invite five organisations involved in assessing or promoting purposeful and responsible business to explain their approach. The event explored the underlying principles behind each approach. You can read more about it on Mark's blog post here: What is corporate responsibility and how can I identify it? In May 2024 with the support of law firm RPC, Tomorrows Company convened a larger gathering of likeminded organisations. The aim has been to Deepen mutual understanding between different frameworks and approaches Find common ground and understand how the efforts of each may be complementary Promote these different approaches to enable all to raise their profile in a connected way And through all of this Better equip people to make informed choices about the companies they deal with. All this in the face of mounting evidence about the combined impact of the crises of climate, bio-diversity, war, famine and future pandemics. The meeting discussed lethal threats that may lie ahead. There was much support for the view that there needs to be dramatic change in how companies see their purpose and how they behave; how government budgets and acts and regulates and conducts its procurement; how investors and insurance companies assess risk and reward; how house builders, and infrastructure planners and project managers operate; how public health priorities are set; what we teach in schools and colleges; how food and agriculture operates. Discussions at the meeting and after it have been focused on how to work effectively together to influence government, business, finance, health and education to commit to an agenda of substantial change. All participants felt they wanted to work for a wealth creation system that puts these imperatives at the top of the agenda, not on its periphery. As one put it ‘We don’t want to destroy capitalism: we want it and its engines of invention to be contributing the solutions that human wellbeing demands.’ Work continues on how to make the most of the potential combined impact of such a group.

  • About us | Tomorrow's Company

    We are an independent, pioneering not-for-profit think tank. We bring business and society together to address some of the biggest challenges of today’s world, which we face through our research, innovation and collaborative action. We create challenging insights, breakthrough impacts and long term value for business and society. ABOUT US Our history In 1993, the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA) initiated a business-led inquiry into ‘the role of business in a changing world’. The objective was to develop a shared vision of the company of tomorrow. The findings of the Inquiry, published in 1995, introduce the concept of an inclusive approach to business success in which a company: defines and communicates its purpose and values develops a unique success model places a positive value on each of its relationships works in partnership with stakeholders maintains a healthy reputation. The Centre for Tomorrow’s Company (CTC or ‘Tomorrow’s Company’) was founded in 1996 following the success of the Tomorrow’s Company Inquiry, and in response to demand from businesses involved in the inquiry to carry forward the work that started in the inquiry. Tomorrow’s Company was founded in response to demand from businesses to introduce the concept of an inclusive approach to business success. ABOUT US Our approach Our four stage approach is designed to drive conversation from ideas to action. It is our view that there is frequently a huge amount of discussion around issues, but far too little action. Why has there been so little progress? In highly competitive markets, traditional business models, siloed thinking and stand alone approaches have failed to address what amount to highly complex and interrelated issues. We believe that unlocking breakthrough innovations in these areas will only happen if we collaborate across industry and work together with civic society. INQUIRE ENGAGE INNOVATE IMPACT We create a core steering group of key business leaders who are committed to addressing the issues at hand. We conduct baseline research to support our overall aims, scoping the challenge and the opportunities it presents. This is a multi-disciplinary approach include analysis of qualitative and quantitative data, roundtables, expert interviews and conversations with relevant wider communities The steering group and people within their organisations, along with Tomorrow’s Company run engagement programmes including Live Lab events, other collaborations and meeting with civil society leaders and social innovators. We facilitate these large-scale collaborative events to develop new solutions, connect people and start to build a vision for the future. Through inquiry and engagement we develop innovation. This will include outlining the systemic issues inhibiting progress, together developing a series of practical solutions that help to stimulate a different dialogue. We will look to scale these innovations and encourage large organisations to pilot them, or sponsor their development. We will look to convert this work: from a series of interventions to a movement-building platform. This includes developing our insights into substantive reports that will capture the process and outcomes, presenting the findings to government and other policy makers, using social and other creative media, and seeking to raise support for future development of ideas and innovation. ABOUT US Our impact Our work has driven responsible behaviour in companies worldwide – the value and impact of our work is publicly endorsed by many current and former business leaders. We have significantly influenced the direction of corporate governance – including defining the inclusive duties of directors for the UK’s Companies Act 2006 and influencing the King III report in South Africa and the Commonwealth corporate governance guidelines. We have stimulated widespread interest in investor stewardship – our pioneering work led to the development of the Stewardship Code, and the creation of UN Principles for Responsible Investment. We have worked with partners as far afield as India, Japan and Singapore.to influence stewardship and stewardship codes. Purpose, value and relationships are now seen as critical to business success – a focus initiated by us in 1995 and popularised through twenty years of research and advocacy. This is has inspired a range of new advisory companies and initiatives such as Blueprint for Business and was reflected in the increasing focus by regulators on issues of culture. We have consistently delivered public benefit – with over 30 reports and toolkits available for free online and a regular programme of free, public events with previous speakers including former American Vice President Al Gore and the Chairmen of John Lewis, Nestle, BAE Systems, EY, PwC and IBM.

Margaret Foran Chief Governance Officer, VP and Corporate Secretary Prudential Financial Inc ABOUT US Who are we? We are an independent, pioneering not-for-profit think tank. We bring business and society together to address some of the biggest challenges of today’s world, which we face through our research , innovation, advocacy and collaborative action. We create challenging insights, breakthrough impacts and long term value for business and society. Our work started in 1996 to follow up the agenda for action developed by the pioneering RSA Inquiry, Tomorrow’s Company – the role of business in a changing world. In 2020, stewardship of Tomorrow’s Company together with its concept, intellectual property and back catalogue of publications was transferred to the Telos Foundation. (registered charity no. 1183271 ). We aim to relaunch as a reinvigorated independent charity once again in the autumn of 2024. ABOUT US What do we do? Our current activities aim to strengthen the potential for business to be a force for good in society in three areas: EDUCATION & LEARNING PUBLIC POLICY, LAW, REGULATION & STANDARDS ADVOCACY & AGENDA SETTING Our 'Future Skills ' project is a pioneering programme of essential skills coaching and business mentoring for Key Stage 4 students around the UK, and 'Business as a Force for Good' is a challenging programme undergone by all first year undergraduates in business studies at the University of East Anglia. The focus is on entrepreneurship and the contribution business can make to society in the future. Working with the BSI, and organisations across business and society, we have developed a new form of due diligence to help public sector better assess the character of the private sector businesses with which they engage. This has now become British Standard 95009 and offers a crucial framework to help government and public sector achieve value for money and social value from the £350 bn of taxpayers’ money that is spent on the private sector. A regular programme of blogs and social media provocations that draw on three decades of research and experience.

ABOUT US Our legacy and agenda As a not-for-profit think-tank that exists to inspire and enable business to be a force for good in society, our goal has been to encourage a business approach that creates value for staff, shareholders and society through a focus on purpose, values, relationships and the long-term. In 1996, Tomorrow’s Company defined tomorrow’s company as one that: Clearly defines its purpose and values, and communicates them in a consistent manner to all those important to the company’s success; Uses its stated purpose and values, and its understanding of the importance of each relationship to develop its own success model from which it can generate a meaningful framework for performance measurement; Values reciprocal relationships, understanding that by focusing on and learning from all those who contribute to the business, it will best be able to improve returns to shareholders; Works actively to build reciprocal relationships with customers, suppliers, and other key stakeholders through a partnership approach; and Expects its relationships to overlap and acts, with others where necessary, to maintain a strong licence to operate. Twenty years later, in 2016, in the light of all the organisation’s learning and experience in working with companies and investors, Tomorrow’s Company report, UK Business: What’s Wrong? What’s Next? restated this as three principles. These are: A purpose beyond profit and a set of values that are lived through the behaviours of all employees to create a self-reinforcing culture; Collaborative and reciprocal relationships with key stakeholders – a strong focus on customer satisfaction, employee engagement and, where possible, collaboration with suppliers, alongside working with society; and A long-term approach that embraces risk – investing long term and embracing disruptive innovation.

  • The Telos Foundation and Tomorrow's Company

    The Telos Foundation and those associated with it have been partners and supporters of Tomorrow’s Company for many years. It is a registered charity whose purpose is to advance education and research for charity leaders in order to enable charities to sustain their services into the future in subjects relating to leadership. It is therefore a great home in which to be continuing and pursuing the work begun by Tomorrow’s Company and keeping its legacy alive. STEWARDS OF TOMORROW'S COMPANY The Telos Foundation Tomorrow’s Company has for a generation championed the human purposes of business, building on the inspiration of the 1995 RSA Tomorrow’s Company Report. Its belief is that business can and must be a force for good in society; that purpose, values and relationships are the foundation for long term success and sustainability. Over the years, it has initiated, led and facilitated debate and discussion on the role and purpose of business in society. Its research papers and documents of dialogue have formed a basis of reference and guidance to businesses and organisations whose leadership have desired to forge a purpose beyond the bottom line, and it has done this with the support and contribution of its supporters, partners, staff, benefactors and trustees. The widespread acceptance of the importance of business purpose, and the continuing evolution of the investor stewardship agenda, are two recent reminders of the impact of the whole Tomorrow’s Company movement. Tomorrow’s Company has always relied on recurrent corporate membership subscriptions, and in the current climate this business model has proved increasingly difficult to sustain for them and for many other similar small charities. The trustees have reluctantly had to conclude that the corporate form which embodied Tomorrow’s Company – The Centre for Tomorrow’s Company – has come to the end of its successful run, and therefore has closed. However, there continues to be a strong interest in the vision and the agenda with which Tomorrow’s Company has long been identified. The legacy of Tomorrow’s Company should be consolidated and continued and, in this spirit, the trustees have transfered the name and research to an organisation whose vision, values and purpose align with that of Tomorrow’s Company. That organisation is The Telos Foundation. The Telos Foundation will act as a steward for the name and legacy of Tomorrow’s Company. The Telos Foundation and those associated with it have been partners and supporters of Tomorrow’s Company for many years. It is a registered charity whose purpose is to advance education and research for charity leaders in order to enable charities to sustain their services into the future in subjects relating to leadership. It is therefore a great home in which to be continuing and pursuing the work begun by Tomorrow’s Company and keeping its legacy alive. In order to steer the future activities in the name of Tomorrow’s Company, and to help it explore future options, The Telos Foundation has formed an advisory board, whose membership includes Peter Ward, founder of Telos Partners, a member of the original RSA Tomorrow’s Company Inquiry Team and a Trustee of The Telos Foundation, and Mark Goyder, Founder of Tomorrow’s Company. This will ensure that decisions about the future direction and continuing work will be consistent with the purpose and values of The Telos Foundation and Tomorrow’s Company.
