Since its inception, Future 500’s annual Force for Good Forecast has served as the definitive roadmap for leaders navigating the volatile intersection of business, policy, and advocacy. Each edition provides a deep dive into the ten most critical stakeholder trends—from the evolution of carbon accounting to the rise of "greenhushing" and the new mandate of climate resilience.
By tracking the "political pendulum" and identifying pressure points before they hit the mainstream, our archive offers a unique longitudinal look at the transformation of corporate accountability. We provide these reports for free as a core part of our mission: building trust between "unusual allies"—business leaders, activists, and philanthropists—to ensure business remains a powerful force for good. Explore our current and past editions to prepare your organization for the year ahead.
