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 <a href="mailto:playbook@2050.do">hearing your feedback</a>!

Knowledge

2050's world will be very different from the 2020's world. We already know that global warming and the biodiversity crisis will play a major role and it is essential that young people get the right resources to understand the challenges they will face. This is why 2050 co-authored and co-funded a transdisciplinary course on the ecological challenges of the 21st century, designed by Ivar Ekeland, in collaboration with the Fondation Madeleine and Université Paris Dauphine. 

This course provides a unique synthesis, making scientific research accessible through relevant disciplines, from physics and biology to economics and philosophy.

A stunning document! A master piece!
In order to slow the climate change acceleration, rules need to be established and followed by a large number of humans, especially their leaders as they have to stand like exemples.
Those rules should be the base for states to build new standards, next incentives / taxes and then force companies only focusing on KPIs (mainly financial ones) to drive their operations and strategy toward KAIs.
Unfortunetely, I so far did not find a company or an organization to work on this purpose: the conversion of KAIs to new standards and new KPIs.
Perhaps you could indicate me if this kind of organization or company exists, as I would be glad to work with it.

Steward-ownership refers to a set of legal structures that instill two core principles into the legal DNA of a business: self-governance and profits serve purpose.

It aims to support entrepreneurs in building their company's values, based on a strong conviction: a company's growth depends above all on its values, the ultimate vector of differentiation in an environment where everything is now duplicable.
