Tomorrow's company is a business-led think tank, working as a catalyst to help realise the Tomorrow's Company vision – a future for business which makes equal sense to staff, shareholders and society.

A membership organisation, Tomorrow's Company publishes research, brings practical business people together to generate and share ideas, puts those ideas into the public domain and influences decision makers in companies, the investment community, stakeholder groups, business schools, and government.

In June 2004, Tomorrow's Company published Restoring Trust: investment in the twenty-first century, following two years of consultation with over 500 practitioners and interest groups representing all parts of the investment chain and taking an overview of the whole investment business. The Inquiry Team that produced it was led by Sir Richard Sykes. The report warns that the only way for the UK investment system to deliver better value to customers is for concerted and collective action by the industry itself. Tomorrow's Company is now working with the investment industry to progress the agenda for change described in the report.

A co-operative lending society that uses the pooled investments of its members in the UK to provide trade finance to fair trade co-operatives and businesses. Its mission is to provide financial services and business support to make livelihoods and living standards better for disadvantaged communities in some of the world's poorest countries. Shared Interest works with people who share its commitment to fair and just trade. Its financial services comprise a range of trade pre-finance and loans for buyers and producers in the fair trade supply chain.

Members invest in share accounts (minimum £100, maximum £20,000) and can earn a moderate rate of interest subject to the Society's rules if its financial results allow. To date, members have invested more than £21 million in share capital, enabling millions of pounds to be lent to customers as they trade their way out of poverty. Since the lending is re-paid, share capital can be used again and again to help reduce poverty. Shared Interest Foundation is the Society's international development charity. It was set up in 2004, primarily to provide business training and capacity development to producers to help them to succeed in the fair trade marketplace.

WWF-UK is one of Britain's leading environment organisations, working on a wide range of environmental issues in the UK and around the world. WWF's philosophy is to conserve nature - wild species and wild places - by promoting the sustainable use of natural resources to meet the needs of current and future generations. WWF has national organisations in twenty-six countries and projects in over one hundred countries. We work in partnership with governments, business and industry, other conservation organisations and local communities to find solutions for the protection of nature.

Business and industry has a profound effect on the environment - witness the fact that the 500 largest businesses in the world control 25 per cent of the planet's output in GDP terms. WWF's policy is to enter into business and industry relationships that contribute to the attainment of our mission and one such relationship is our partnership with NPI and a socially responsible investment fund. The fund acts as leverage for WWF work on issues such as climate change, endocrine disruption, marine pollution, multilateral trade agreements, and sustainable lifestyles. In addition to the investment fund, WWF also works on other relevant issues in this area, such as our Global Forestry and Finance Initiative, and the screening of our own reserves.
