Driving Ethics and Compliance to the center of decision-making

Transforming Governance into a Force for Good

Boards of the Future™ is a global nonprofit advancing ethical leadership and integrity at the highest levels of corporate power.

What do Aristotle’s virtues — integrity, humility, and judgement — have to do with modern governance?

We believe that moral philosophy and ethical reasoning belong in the boardroom. We work with corporate boards and stakeholders around the world to bring ethics, risk, and compliance expertise to the heart of corporate decision-making.

We advocate for stronger ethics, risk, and compliance representation on boards — and we support, connect, and empower E&C professionals on their leadership journeys.

How We Work

  • Global Advocacy

    We engage with corporate boards, industry leaders, development banks, investment firms, and regulators worldwide to highlight the critical value of ethics and compliance expertise in decision-making processes.

  • Educational Programs

    Our workshops, salons, and webinars are designed to educate board members and executives on the advantages of integrating E&C professionals into their leadership teams.

  • Research and Collaboration

    We partner with academic institutions, think tanks and other non-profits to conduct research on the impact of ethical governance, providing data-driven insights to bolster our advocacy efforts.

  • Community Building

    We support, connect, and empower E&C professionals on their board and leadership journeys through advocacy, events, one-on-one exchanges, CV support, and a board apprenticeship program.

  • Investor Engagement

    We collaborate with investors to establish the inclusion of ethics and compliance leaders on boards as a key investment criterion. We aim to incentivize investors to prioritize companies committed to ethical leadership.
