Organizations Filed Purposes:
SEE ATTACHED STATEMENTWE BUILD ALLIANCES BETWEEN ADVERSARIAL STAKEHOLDERS. WE ARE EXPERTS IN STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT WITH OVER TWO DECADES OF EXPERIENCE. WE UTILIZE MARKET-BASED APPROACHES TO SOLVE SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES AROUND ENERGY & CLIMATE, FOOD & WATER, MATERIALS & SUPPLY CHAINS, AND PEOPLE & POWER. THROUGH GENUINE STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT, FUTURE 500 ALIGNS THE POWER OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR WITH THE PURPOSE OF ITS MOST CRITICAL STAKEHOLDERS. WE ENVISION A WORLD THAT REALIZES SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC GROWTH BY ADDRESSING SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL EXTERNALITIES WITH MARKET-BASED SOLUTIONS. WE UNITE THE CORPORATE AND NGO SECTOR, THE POLITICAL RIGHT AND LEFT, TO BREAK THROUGH GRIDLOCK, ENCOURAGE THOUGHTFUL DIALOGUE, AND ACHIEVE BROAD SYSTEMIC CHANGE. WE FIND THAT UNCOMMON IDEAS OFTEN REVEAL UNCOMMON SOLUTIONS.
ENERGY/CLIMATEFUTURE 500 VIEWS THE ENERGY ISSUE AS A CRITICAL THREAD ACROSS ALL THE SUSTAINABILITY PROJECTS IN WHICH WE ENGAGE. TO THAT END, OUR ORGANIZATION CONTINUOUSLY SEEKS TO BUILD PARTNERSHIPS WITH ENERGY COMPANIES AND ENERGY ACTIVISTS. WE WORK ACROSS SEVERAL ENERGY SECTORS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO: COAL, NATURAL GAS AND OIL SANDS. WE BELIEVE THAT SMART, COMPREHENSIVE ENERGY POLICY CAN HELP DRIVE SYSTEMIC CHANGE DOWN THE SUPPLY CHAIN. WE BELIEVE THAT A PRICE ON CARBON IS AN ECONOMIC, SECURITY, FISCAL, AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPERATIVE. TO HELP DRIVE THIS EFFORT, WE HAVE CRAFTED TWO CORE POLICY PRINCIPLES THAT CAN UNITE THE BIPARTISAN POLITICAL SUPPORT NEEDED FOR CLIMATE POLICY THAT IS FRIENDLY TO PEOPLE, THE ECONOMY, AND THE ENVIRONMENT. FUTURE 500 HAS QUIETLY BROUGHT TOGETHER COMPANIES, NGOS, AND INVESTORS, TO SUPPORT THIS POLICY. WE SEE ENERGY AS A DYNAMIC AND EVOLVING ARENA WHERE WE SEEK TO PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN CONNECTING CORPORATIONS AND ACTIVISTS. WE BELIEVE THAT DIRECT ENGAGEMENT WILL HELP US SOLVE SOME OF THE MOST PRESSING ENERGY ISSUES FACING OUR SOCIETY.
MATERIALS/SUPPLY CHAINSINCE OUR INCEPTION, FUTURE 500 HAS BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF RECYCLING POLICY AND MATERIALS STEWARDSHIP. IN FACT, OUR ENGAGEMENT MODEL PULLS FROM THE SUCCESS OF A CORPORATE-NGO ALLIANCE BUILT BY OUR FOUNDER TO PASS THE CA BOTTLE BILL. AS WE LOOK TO THE FUTURE, WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE US NEEDS A MORE COMPREHENSIVE RECYCLING STRUCTURE THAT ENCOMPASSES A BROADER WASTE STREAM AND HELPS US INCREASE STAGNANT RECYCLING RATES. IN THAT REGARD, FUTURE 500 LED A FOUR PART MULTI-STAKEHOLDER "DIALOGUE" SERIES TO DRIVE INNOVATIVE WASTE MANAGEMENT POLICIES. WE SPECIFICALLY SOUGHT TO ADDRESS WHAT EXTENDED PRODUCER RESPONSIBILITY (EPR) POLICY MIGHT MEAN FOR THE UNITED STATES, A PROVEN RECYCLING STRUCTURE IMPLEMENTED IN DOZENS OF COUNTRIES ACROSS THE GLOBE.
PEOPLE/POWER WE FACE A FUTURE OF INCREASING ECOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC DEFICITS AROUND THE PLANET. CONCURRENTLY, WE ARE AMIDST A GLOBAL REVOLUTION TRANSFORMING EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIVES. THE AGENT OF THIS REVOLUTION IS A NEW FAMILY OF TECHNOLOGIES - BROADBAND, THE INTERNET, MICROCHIPS, AND SOFTWARE - THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME DRAW THE WORLD TOGETHER INTO A SINGLE, COEXTENSIVE WHOLE. BY UNLEASHING THE INNOVATIVE CAPACITY OF NGOS AND CORPORATIONS TO USE TECHNOLOGY FOR GOOD, WE HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO REVERSE THESE DEFICITS.
