CEO’s Introduction
Our 2022 Annual Review covers an extraordinary year at Reboot, as it was for the rest of the world. COVID restrictions eased as limits on events, travel and social contact began to disperse. The experience of lockdown now feels much like a pervasive hangover.
Like many other organisations, Reboot has found this brave new world to be uncharted territory. Our approach has been to seek out like-minded 'imaginals’ - individuals that share a sense of… -, using the Golden Rule as a bellwether, cautious yet optimistic. Invariably, we have been rewarded.
2022 saw the delivery of multiple projects, programmes and campaigns, with ‘We Are Antarctica’ at its heart. Reboot’s message has travelled far and wide, from the Future Food Institute in Polica to the Edible Planet Summit in Perugia; from B for Good in Rome to COP27 in Sharm El Sheikh ; our Franklin Institute Masterclass in Lugano to Antarctica herself. And of course online, where our new brand identity and website presence have helped to realign both our education platform Global Dimension and Reboot the Future ever-closer.
The enthusiasm of Reboot’s partners, supporters, board and audiences have all been integral to this success. Thank you to
all who have been a part of this support. I am grateful to all our Imaginals, and most especially our dedicated Reboot colleagues, who continue to drive our mission with the right blend of optimism and pragmatism.
At the time that this Annual Review is published, it will have been almost three years since I joined Reboot on the first day of lockdown. Reboot the Future had always seemed to be a pretty good name: now, more than ever it serves to capture the gestalt.

CEO, Reboot the Future

Chair’s Foreword
Welcome from Kim Polman Reboot the Future Co-Founder and Chair of Board of Trustees
It is a pleasure to introduce Reboot the Future’s 2022 Annual Report.
I would like to start by thanking my fellow Trustees both incoming and outgoing.
This year we said warm goodbyes to Ed Beccle, Nik Hartley, and Amanda Jenkins, who have been stalwarts of the Reboot board since before and during the pandemic. In what has been a period of immense change, challenge and growth, all three have contributed hugely to the life and growth of the board.
With the appointment of Georgie Howlett, Emily Vernall, Veronica Patton-Cemm and Stefan Homeister, I am proud to continue to lead a board, composed of such strong ability and talent.
Amidst a period of rapid geopolitical change, it is clear that people care. There is a growing appetite for Reboot’s work, and it is thrilling to recognise other imaginal partners stepping up to the imminent need for change, growth, and transformation. Reboot is proud to be a part of this change.
2022 saw the launch of our book ‘Values for a Life Economy’: the culmination of many voices and friends, too many to list here, but I am pleased to make special mention of Carlo Giardinetti, Sara Roversi and Philip Clayton, who in one way or another were core to its gestation.
Huge thanks must also go to our ‘We Are Antarctica’ campaign partners Earthrise, and to Jack Harries, Josua Stäbler, and Shivi Dwivedi for helping us bring the Golden
Rule to so many people. We give special thanks to Shivi, Extreme Hangouts, and Kite Insights for their support at COP27.
Our work this year was notably helped by partners such as The Harmony Project, who co-produced our Antarctica school resource; and Adot Foundation, who so generously provided the magnificent Outernet space in central London for our launch. We are very grateful for the friendship with the Institute of Ecological Civilisation; to Franklin University in Switzerland, for their ongoing support of our masterclass, and for sponsors such as Aviva Insurance, Pearson and the Allan and Nesta Foundation for their continuing support.
The Board is pleased to report that we have ended this year in a position of great strength, thanks to the hard work of our team. We look forward to working with all our friends and supporters to build on that success in the coming year.

Who We Are
Reboot the Future is a non-profit working for a sustainable and equitable future for all. In the face of numerous global crises, from biodiversity loss to social injustice, our work is rooted in a rule as ancient as humanity itself: treat others and the planet as you would wish to be treated .
Our model for change is based on creating connection to inspire action. Our campaigns, education and leadership programmes bring together culture, education and
conversation to inspire deep feelings of connection with our inner values, with others and the planet, and empower people to take action for our shared future.
In 2022, we worked with brand strategist Anna Konstantinova and designer Lindsey Reay to update our brand, external communications and messaging. We then teamed up with design agency Cynergy and web developer James Tiplady to bring our new website to life and update our education platform.

Values for a Life Economy
In September 2022, Reboot the Future’s chair and co-founder Kim Polman and CEO Anthony Bennett published ‘Values for a Life Economy’: a manifesto of 10 unifying values and reflection activities to guide us towards a life economy , a new system of being where all life thrives.
The book draws on the inspiration and thoughts shared during Reboot’s ‘Good After Covid-19’ discussion series, 10 online conversations which brought together over 300 artists, scientists, environmentalists, business people, teachers, religious leaders, young activists and thought leaders from around the world.
‘Values for a Life Economy’ weaves together opinion pieces, stories, reflections, and summaries of the ‘Good After Covid-19’ discussions to form a rich, broad and inspiring map. It is co-authored by 22 influential contributors, including environmentalist and author Jonathon Porritt, SDG pioneer Paul Polman, WECAN Founder Sandrine Dixson-Decleve, and more.

“
In what can feel an ever more frenetic world this beautiful book reconnects us with deep reflections and wisdom, sorely learnt through the pandemic. It provides an important blueprint for a future with people and planet in tune.

Advocacy
Reboot the Future are part of the Our Shared World coalition: a large network advocating for the realisation of SDG 4.7 across England by 2030.
As co-chair of the Social Movement working group ,
we are exploring ways to create a grassroots social movement that will drive demand for an education system that equips our society to create a more sustainable, fairer, peaceful and resilient world.
This year, we engaged hundreds of educators and members of the public in discussions on sustainability and education, culminating in our response to the DfE’s Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy. In April, we released The Our Shared World Evidence Report, examining where and how SDG 4.7 is being delivered in England, and what the priorities for policymakers should be in the future.
With thanks to Pearson
This year, our education work has been supported by Pearson. Our shared goal is to create life-long learning opportunities where people feel inspired and empowered to take action for a more compassionate, equitable and sustainable world.
This support has enabled us to reach thousands of educators and young people through our events, resources and awards. Our 2022 highlights include:

Leadership
Reboot the Future’s leadership programme works with students and business leaders to inspire them to live and lead with their values; challenging the status quo to ensure we are building a compassionate, sustainable and equitable future.
Executive Masterclass
Since 2019, we have delivered a Golden Rule Masterclass with our education partner, Franklin University Switzerland, and the support of worldclass speakers including Paul Polman, John Perkins and Ron Oswald.
In 2022, we delivered a 3 day Executive Masterclass on ‘Responsible Collaboration: Leadership & the Golden Rule’, with the ambition to help future leaders, students at Franklin University, identify their core values and how to use them in a leadership capacity.
The Masterclass champions powerful and impactful leadership stories in business, governments, and civil society, and we were delighted to be joined by four high-profile speakers including Jo Daniels (Marks and Spencer), Phil Clothier (Amcara).
Led by expert process facilitator Sam Nueesch, the core components included compelling discussions, highly immersive experiences, a hybrid of elite speakers, and a selection of tools and skills development to support compassionate leadership.

Conversations for a Life Economy
Created in partnership with the Institute for Ecological Civilization (EcoCiv), Conversations for a Life Economy was a programme of talks, first private and then public, to turn private thoughts and emotion into public action. The programme ran from October 2021 to March 2022 and engaged 90 business leaders and 22 young changemakers in conversation.
Reboot co-hosted 6 private conversations with high-profile business leaders and young people, exploring two themes:
-
[ ‘Wild Love’][ - examines a Golden Rule approach to nature, and what it means to ] accord the natural world with the same respect as we wish for ourselves.
-
[‘Deep Time’ ][- questions how we as a culture relate to time and ] what this means for life on earth and our own well-being.
EcoCiv then enabled participants to share their experience of the conversations with the public through:
-
[4 online panel conversations: ] conversations between business leaders and young change makers to inspire others to take action to shift towards a life economy.
-
[ A podcast series:][ engaging ] listeners in the personal values of business leaders working towards a Life Economy.
-
[A downloadable toolkit: ][providing ] examples of practice and resources to help lead through action.
Testimonial:
I will think more deeply about what it means to put connection and care and relationships at the heart… Putting it into the journey, in all aspects of my work and internal landscape.

Imaginal Conversations
In 2022, we engaged over 50 change seekers around the globe in 4 online conversations covering 4 themes: Connection , Life of Meaning , Wild Love and Deep Time . Each conversation concluded with participants making a statement of an action they intended to take to build a more compassionate and sustainable world.
Testimonial:
We also partnered with the Nordic Leadership Network , holding a ‘Wild Love’ Imaginal Conversation with leaders attending the Stockholm+50 meeting held by the United Nations General Assembly in June 2022. All leaders left the conversation with intentions for action to take to Stockholm +50.
From this conversation I will try to demonstrate more kindness and empathy in building a better world and community, together with all ages.

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity.

-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independant examination.

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:
Fixtures, fittings, tools and equipment
33.33% straight line basis
Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.
Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method.
