The Future500, a non-profit based in San Francisco, Tokyo, and Beijing, specializes in stakeholder engagement, the systematic consideration and integration of broad external stakeholder expectations into business planning. We forge links and build relationships between brand name companies and their external stakeholders, such as concerned citizens, social cause advocates, environmental and human rights groups, social investors and others. This process of stakeholder engagement serves as a natural expansion of a company's market R&D.
