As the dust settles on an inspiring edition of ChangeNOW 2025, one truth stands out: the future will not be shaped by caution. Real change demands courage, ambition, and collaboration.

The challenges we face today are large. But this is an opportunity to reimagine leadership, anchored in conviction, data, and science. 💡

Here are three key takeaways we carry forward:
👉 Leadership is about daring greatly.
As Paul Polman said, “If you feel comfortable in the current situation, you need to raise your ambition.”

👉 Collaboration must become the new norm.
The future will be shaped not by isolated players, but by building purposeful alliances. CSOs and CFOs joining forces to enable value creation. Competitors coming together and building coalitions to shift entire industries. Investors backing new models of circularity and shared value with their stakeholders.

👉 Science and data are our foundation.
Today, what counts is what can be measured and as we enter the age of AI, we need to think about the way we use the power of technology to drive transparency, accountability, and positive impact.

At Goodness & Co, we leave ChangeNOW with a renewed conviction: courageous leadership, collective action, and evidence-based decisions are no longer ideals — they are the building blocks of the future.

At Goodness & Co, we are proud to stand alongside the pioneers leading this change — beginning with board members who are ready to embed impact at the core of their companies.🌱

And we take this opportunity to thank the ChangeNOW team, our very own Isabelle Grosmaitre, and the entire Goodness & Co crew for making this edition one to remember.

✨ Our upcoming publication will offer a roadmap for boards ready to take the lead. Stay tuned 😉
