Our History<\/h5>\n

Supporting innovations in responsible business practice since 2004<\/h2>\n

Luke Wilde founded twentyfifty in 2004. Previously, he worked with business and the United Nations, developing management practices and trainings which, under the UN Guiding Principles of Business Human Rights, have become the expectation of all companies.\u00a0Touched by the UN\u2019s prediction at the time that the world\u2019s population would reach 9 billion by 2050, and foreseeing the immensity of the human and ecological challenges ahead, Luke realised that \u201cwhat business does today will shape the world in 2050\u201d.\u00a0And so, twentyfifty was born.<\/p>\n

Luke\u2019s founding vision was to help leading companies develop strategic yet practical approaches to respect human rights and, ultimately, address many related social sustainability issues.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWe try not to shy away from difficulties.\u00a0 Some of our clients source from under-scrutinised suppliers, or invest in countries attracting\u00a0concern...\u201d<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\"\"\n
\u201c...which leads to\nquestions internally about whether we should work with\u00a0them...\u201d<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\"\"\n
\u201cBut if they are prepared to listen to rights-holders at potential risk, work respectfully with us and act sincerely on our findings, we will continue to engage.\u201d<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
