Business for Good Leaders is a Global Cooperative fostering a model of regenerative and entrepreneurial leadership to accelerate the transition towards a new economy of shared, durable prosperity. We are focused on gathering a critical mass of truly committed Leaders for Good, for maximum collective impact. At BFGL Cooperative, leaders from different regions, organisations’ size and industries can build a community, find inspiration and act together for a brighter future.
To become a member of the Cooperative you need to be invited by a BFGL team member, apply though our website or be introduced by a current member of the network. If you are interested in applying via our website, please do so here.
All attendees of the summit must be invited by the BFGL’s team. If you want to get an invitation for the Summit or the Network, you need to be a leader of your organization (Founder, Partner, CEO or Board Member). Your business must be positively impacting society and/or the planet or wanting to have a major positive impact in society and/or the planet. If you fulfill those requirements, you would need to request your invitation. Our team will analyze it and get in contact with you as soon as possible.
Yes, it is directed to founders, partners, C-Level executives or Board members. We believe we need to create a space of peers and gather a critical mass of truly committed leaders to the new economy for maximum positive impact and collaboration.
Business for Good Leaders was founded by Leen Zevenbergen and Marcello Palazzi – who, together, co-founded B Lab Europe. Despite the close relationship, B For Good Leaders is an independent organization that aims to highlight the power of doing good business and being a leader for good – centering the B Corps as a successful role model, an example of how to bring this about.
That’s why we are glad to have B Lab Europe as a strategic partner of B For Good Leaders Network.

Our present economic system is flawed. It is guided by a short-term vision that only takes the interests of a limited number of stakeholders into account and is deaf to the call of future generations.
The annual B for Good Leaders Summit exists to accelerate the transition towards a regenerative economy creating the conditions for a shared, durable prosperity. This will create social, environmental, and economic net positive value through a new model of regenerative leadership.
As inhabitants of planet Earth, we take up this intergenerational call which demands to reframe the very meaning of leadership.
To enable this evolution, as B For Good Leaders, we commit to:
1. embrace radical interdependence, the fundamental principle governing life on Earth, as the golden rule for decision-making, leading to a regenerative impact;
2. consider at least the next generation of humans in every business decision;
3. measure what matters to integrate systemic value creation into our definition of profit;
4. challenge extractive economic models and take a stand for the common good;
5. mobilize finance as a catalyst to transform the business perspective from short-termism to long-term shared value creation.
We commit to guiding our companies and organizations to embrace a purpose-driven model that creates value for all.
Through this joint leadership statement, we lay the foundation for collective actions and alliances, clearing the path for a new regenerative economy.
