Founded in 2008 after pioneering the global UTZ certification programme, NewForesight set out not to build another consultancy, but a mission platform for those who want to accelerate sustainability transitions and lead the systems change the world urgently needs.
From an attic in Hilversum to global boardrooms, ministries, farms, and multi-stakeholder coalitions, our journey has been shaped by people who share one purpose: to design a better future and make it real. For more than 17 years, NewForesight has trained thousands of professionals, delivered sector-shaping strategies, and contributed to ideas and frameworks that have influenced academic thinking, government policy, and corporate transformation.
What defines our history is not only what we achieved, but how we achieved it. With bold ambition, scientific rigour, entrepreneurship, and a culture that gives every colleague the space to grow into a leader. Each generation of NewForesight professionals has left its mark on the world and on our organisation. Their legacy lives in the way we think, act, and accelerate change today.
NewForesight is an unfolding story of people who refuse to accept the status quo. People who challenge the rules, design new ones, and bend the curves toward sustainable, equitable, and regenerative futures. And this story continues.
Our mission is to accelerate the transition to a sustainable and equitable economy.
We work to bend the global curves on five essential transitions that will define our collective future:
We believe these transitions hold more than 30 trillion dollars in global opportunity value. Unlocking it requires more than projects: it requires transition design, leadership, and a deep understanding of how systems change.
We bring the right actors together.
We align value chains and incentives.
We shape the enabling conditions and business cases that make sustainability competitive.
And we stay engaged until transformation becomes self-sustaining.
Our work is guided by our Theory of Change:
We are building a global tribe of transition leaders: professionals, partners, and organisations who accelerate systems change from within. Together, we turn today’s crises into tomorrow’s prosperity and help make sustainable economies the competitive default.
Bij NewForesight werken we met een sterk team dat begrijpt dat duurzame transities business betekenen.
