We are a grassroots movement of managers
accelerating change for people and planet
Be Future and show sustainable leadership!
Who we are and what we do
#ManagersForFuture is a grassroots movement of managers, executives and management students striving to change the world of management for good. As many other “ForFuture” movements throughout the world, and as our name states, we’ve been inspired by the actions of the Fridays For Future global movement. Also, we firmly believe that “we need to treat it and call it for what it is: not simply a change, it’s a climate crisis”. We have to implement the Paris Agreement and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals now.
As managers, we are particularly responsible to make it happen.

Activism: driving change
With our activities, we support business action accelerating the divestment from fossil fuels and transition towards a sustainable and regenerative management and leadership model. We also support mainstreaming sustainability in universities and business schools.
Advocating: supporting managers
We help managers who want to truly align their work to future-fit values and action. We advocate to make it easier for managers and future managers to adopt sustainable practices: through legislation, fiscal policy, trainings and corporate incentives.
Dialogue: Building bridges
We are creating spaces of dialogue between the world of management and the ForFuture movements to bring necessary ambition and pragmatic solutions together.
Support: providing resources
We provide a series of resources to help managers understand what sustainability is about and how management and leadership can contribute in building a future-fit model.
That's ManagersForFuture!
