We’re thrilled to invite you to join the 2100 Movement! 2100 is an intergenerational movement of young leaders and impact-driven executives that transform decision-making in business and policies away from short-term financial value creation towards well-being (social, human and natural value) for generations now and in 2100. 2100 is a long-term movement to which members commit their career to, working together for the coming 76 years to realize this goal.
Together, we aim to create an impact economy in which we redefine value and success: from short-term financial gain to long-term societal impact! It’s an economy in which impact is a top priority to every boardroom decision and every enterprise is an impact enterprise! As a member of 2100, you will collaborate with the movement to transform policy, governance, and business for a flourishing and prosperous society in 2100.
