The Story
Sung into existence in 2019 at the MoMA by a collective of space transformers, IMAGINE was co-founded by Paul Polman and Valerie Keller with a belief in the positive potential of human beings to lead systemic change.
Following the successful convening of CEO communities in the Food Collective and Fashion Pact, IMAGINE expanded to accelerating transformational leadership and disruptive innovators committed to climate action and social equity.
When Jeff Seabright and Kees Kruythoff retired from Unilever, they joined the founding team, bringing passion and expertise to help build the advisory business and the Food Collective.

Banks are financing billions of stranded-asset, climate-wrecking fossil fuels. Criminal levels of greenwashing won’t tackle climate emergency but kicking fossil fuels out of finance industry will. British banks must get their house in order @MMMoneyMatter
