Summary
In October 2025, FutureEverything formally amended its constitution to include Nature as a board director. FutureEverything, a UK-based arts, technology and innovation organization, is interested in questions about the relationships between humans, technology, culture and the environment. They decided to appoint Nature as a director on their Board to embed responsibility for Nature in how they operate, and explore how this can be disseminated throughout their organization. Uniquely, their model brings addresses of tech justice and the role technology can play in multispecies justice. This change gives Nature a formal role in their governance with voting rights, influence over strategy, programming, operations and their day-to-day decision making. Crucially, their model includes a range of practices and protocols to both attune and re-embed in Nature and to practically adapt their operations and artistic methodologies.
Nature will have the same voting rights and influence over all company matters: business development, organizational operations and artistic programming as any other director. Its representative on the board will also have the opportunity to identify certain issues as Nature Reserved Matters; to speak to those issues at board meetings; and, if their recommendation is not followed by the board as a whole in respect of a Nature Reserved Matter, for the rationale for that decision to be minuted and for such decisions to be included in the CIC’s Annual Report. This model is supported by a wider set of protocols all aimed at distributing responsibility and ensuring behavioral change across the organization.
