Imagine
The new venture of Paul Polman, Jeff Seabright and Valerie Keller – a for-benefit corporation and foundation called IMAGINE – is a boon for sustainability in at least 3 ways: 1. Knowledge: it unites three leaders who have ‘been there, done that’, Unilever’s Sustainable Living Plan remains a global benchmark. 2. Partnership: it emphasises cross-sector collaboration on the Global Goals ‘for maximum speed, scale and impact’. 3. Innovation: it fosters a can-do, solutions-oriented spirit, which typical of Polman’s leadership. ‘We begin with the permission to believe we can create the world we want,’ he says. ‘And that we are not alone.’
