About the Forward Institute:
- Our purpose is to build a movement for responsible leadership in and across organisations. We were set up as a non-profit in 2014 in response to growing concern about low levels of public trust in large organisations.
- Our flagship Fellowship programme brings together the next generation of senior leaders from across the private, public and social sector to collectively explore the principles of responsible leadership and the challenges facing business and society today.
- We work closely with 30 of the UK’s most important organisations - ranging from the Civil Service and the British Army to Tesco, Barclays, easyJet, Visa, Cancer Research and Save the Children. We are now preparing ourselves for our next stage of growth. See www.forward.institute for more information about who we are and what we do.
