Encyclopedia
Tomorrow’s Company is a business-led think tank
based in the United Kingdom
. Its stated goal is to work as a catalyst to help realise its vision of "a future for business which makes equal sense to staff, shareholders and society."
It is a not-for-profit membership organisation based in the UK. It publishes research, brings practical business people together to generate and share ideas, puts those ideas into the public domain and attempts to influence decision makers in companies, the investment community, stakeholder groups, business schools and government.
Tomorrow’s Company achieves this through acting as a networking hub for organisations, identifying and exploring the future of sustainable success, undertaking and publishing research and promoting the adoption of new ideas and concepts.
The Company originated in the UK from the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA) which in 1993 initiated a business-led inquiry into ‘the role of business in a changing world’. The findings, published in 1995, introduced the concept of an inclusive approach to business success.
