Let’s build
the alignment playbook

Alignment is a journey and companies need a compass. As part of its strategy on developing open resources to accelerate the transition towards a fertile future, the investment firm 2050 is launching the Alignment Playbook. You will find here all you need to start your own path to align your business with the best interests of the society and the planet.

The playbook is articulated around 2050’s Key Alignment Indicators (KAI) and shares its methodology, as well as curated resources (tools, templates, knowledge, stories). Please make this open and collaborative platform yours! Pick, share and upload more relevant content to boost the emergence of the alignment community around the world.

This platform is still in beta phase and we look forward to hearing your feedback!
