Diverse perspectives from hundreds of conversations at Anthropy’s national gatherings analysed to reveal the ideas shaping Britain’s future.
Sustainability leadership is changing. The challenge is no longer simply one of making the case for sustainability and keeping an organisation on track for their commitment to it. It has become a more complex question of how to lead through ambiguity, political contestation, financial constraint, regulatory expansion, technological disruption and shifting expectations in and outside of an organisation.
At Anthropy26, CSOs from across UK sectors came together for a set of closed-door conversations to help us better understand what this means in practice.
Leading Beyond Authority captures fascinating insights from key conversations and what this means for anyone leading in sustainability today:
Four Anthropy Accords bring together the thinking, debate and diverse perspectives from over 230 conversations at the Anthropy25 national gathering.
They reflect the ambitions and concerns of cross-sector senior leadership from business, academia, politics and the third sector. These insights highlighted both the challenges and the opportunities we have for shaping a more confident, collaborative future for the UK.
At Anthropy’s core is the UK’s largest shared Agenda which centres around 4 key questions:
What quality of life do we want in Britain for the next thirty years?
What qualities of place and planet are needed to achieve that quality of life?
What qualities do we wish to see in a good economy and in the best of businesses and public sector organisations?
What qualities do we want to express to the world, to help solve shared issues such as poverty, climate change and human rights?
Each of the four Accords is dedicated to one of these key questions. Drawing on the diverse voices at the Anthropy25 national gathering, they distil the realities of the time and highlight important uncomfortable truths. They showcase key principles, make an economic case to incentivise change, and offer some key calls to action.
The Accords are a reflection of the diverse perspectives collated from those who participated at Anthropy25, as well as opinions captured by research led by Ipsos.
