We are pleased to release Future 500’s Report on the Top 10 Stakeholder Engagement Trends of 2018. This is our seventh annual report.

Our 2017 Trends report shows how effective, proactive stakeholder engagement is more important than ever in advancing systemic change.

In 2016, we hope our Top 10 Trends report helps companies and their stakeholders see beyond conflict and find ways to collaboratively forge common ground solutions to our most pressing global problems.

From politics to energy production, ocean acidification to deforestation, 2015 will present a wide range of stakeholder challenges that will require the attention of corporate leaders. 

Future 500 has released a Top 10 list of what we anticipate will be the most pressing and timely stakeholder issues impacting the corporate sector in 2014.

Each fall, the Future 500 team holds a series of strategic planning meetings where we synthesize the trends we see, outlining our core issues of focus for the coming year and beyond.

Based on extensive global interviews, engagements, and online research, Future 500 has identified the Top Ten most intensive corporate campaigns that brand-name consumer companies will likely face in 2012.
