Working at Forum

Reimagining the way the world works is our day job - and it could be yours too.

Forum for the Future is a leading international sustainability non-profit motivated by a belief that a better future for people and planet is not only possible, but within our grasp.

We know that time to tackle the defining issues of our times - from rising inequality and crashing biodiversity to climate change and economic crisis - is rapidly running out. We also know that these challenges cannot be tackled by any single organisation acting alone.

That’s why, for more than 25 years, we’ve been working in partnership with ambitious businesses, governments and civil society to transform how we live and work.

People and organisations need to think and act very differently today if they are to thrive tomorrow, and Forum’s mission is to create a truly just and regenerative future in which noone is left behind.

That means using systems change and futures expertise to help tackle the climate emergency, transform our food and farming systems, and ensure the supply chains behind everyday goods and services are more resilient and equitable.

Our values

With more than 70 colleagues working out of Singapore, New York, London and Mumbai, we’re an international group of change makers guided by our values, at all times striving to be courageous, adaptive, empathetic, inquisitive, playful and respectful.

So whether you’re helping raise vital income for our work, running sustainability strategy workshops with partners, balancing the books in finance, coaching individuals and organisations on system change practice, working with key stakeholders on the transition to renewable energy or engaging journalists and online influencers, we each play our part in reimagining the way the world works.

It’s a pivotal moment for Forum, and for the sustainability movement. Will you join us?

The next phase of India’s energy transition

India’s renewable energy transition is entering a more complex phase where speed and scale alone are no longer enough. Reflecting on discussions from the Responsible Renewable Energy Summit 2026, this article explores why community trust, biodiversity, accountability, and responsible implementation must become central to the transition. It highlights the growing need for collaborative, systems-based approaches that balance rapid deployment with long-term social and ecological resilience.

The Five Capitals - a framework for sustainability

The Five Capitals Model provides a basis for understanding sustainability in terms of the economic concept of wealth creation or ‘capital’. Any organisation will use five types of capital to deliver its products or services. A sustainable organisation will maintain and where possible enhance these stocks of capital assets, rather than deplete or degrade them.

Sustainability and system change

Climate change, malnutrition, inequality, poverty, ecological degradation. The global challenges we face are so urgent and tricky that we need a solution to match their scale and complexity. This is where system change comes in. We use systems thinking to understand the web of interrelations that create complex problems, anticipate unintended consequences, and identify how and where to take action to meet the SDG goals.
