As an echo of the hopes raised in June 2020 upon the results of last year’s competition, many of you are again going into summer with increased freedom and a return to near-normality after the many months of the pandemic and the restrictions it has imposed. We invite you to take the opportunity to reflect on how the experience you have lived through has changed you, shaped your hopes for the future, and impacted the way we view the world and our environment. We can only hope that your positive ideas will turn to action for a better world!

Kind regards and safe keeping,

Tom Gamble, Associate Director, Council on Business & Society
