The London Stock Exchange today welcomed Anthropy, an organisation which unites cross-sector leadership to shape a brighter future for the UK, to open London’s markets for trading.
During the Market Open ceremony, Anthropy celebrated the launch of the UK’s largest shared agenda, which will form the foundation of discussion at the upcoming national gathering: Anthropy25, 26-28 March. The full Anthropy25 Agenda is now discoverable on the Anthropy website.
LSEG has joined leading businesses around the UK as an Anthropy Member and will be participating in the national gathering, further cementing its commitment to collaborative leadership and innovation.
Anthropy – convening leadership for a brighter Britain
At the heart of Anthropy’s philosophy is the conviction that the future is a shared responsibility. Convening a cross-sector network of leaders, welcoming business and non-profit alike, Anthropy facilitates changing practices, building new partnerships and influencing policy makers in the name of envisioning a brighter Britain in 30 years time, and addressing how to make this vision a reality. At its core is the 3-day national gathering which takes over the entire of the Eden Project in Cornwall, to embark on 200+ sessions, led by 600+ speakers.
Shaping Britain’s future: the Anthropy25 agenda unveiled
As UK leaders return from discussing the global agenda at the World Economic Forum in Davos, the Market Open ceremony presents the ideal moment to launch the UK national agenda. The UK’s largest shared agenda is constructed by hundreds of senior leaders and organisations, and is structured around four pivotal questions:
- What is the quality of life we want in Britain for the next thirty years?
- What qualities of place and planet do we need to achieve that quality of life?
- What qualities do we wish to see in a good economy and in the best of businesses and public sector organisations?
- What qualities do we want to express to the world, to help solve shared issues?
Curated around the Anthropy 14 key themes the Agenda provides a structured platform for future-focussed discussions, ensuring a holistic approach to shaping a prosperous, sustainable and equitable Britain.
“While the London Stock Exchange deals in shares and bonds, convening people and capital.... We at Anthropy deal in something just as valuable… We trade in ideas. We invest in optimism. That is why today marks the launch of the Anthropy25 national Agenda…and I can’t think of a better place to introduce this vision than here, among those who understand what it means to create value. Real value is built in many ways, through financial capital, and also through social capital, cultural capital, natural capital, through the strength of our institutions and the ambition of our people.”
John O’Brien MBE
“We are delighted to welcome Anthropy to the London Stock Exchange to celebrate the launch of their Anthropy25 Agenda. Working in partnership to shape the future of Britain is a cause that we are fully committed to, ensuring that companies and sovereigns can access the capital they need to finance innovation, growth, jobs, infrastructure and the low-carbon transition. On behalf of LSEG, we are proud to be a part of this journey with Anthropy.”
