ABOUT
7 Billion Presidents
7 Billion Presidents envisions a future where everyone thrives in a regenerative economy. They ask: what if all profits went back to society? Their answer is a bold economic model where companies reinvest 100% of their profits to create a better life for everyone. This movement empowers people to become “Presidents” of their own futures, driving change by redirecting wealth into our communities.
By building businesses that prioritise societal benefit over private gain, they aim to shift the flow of resources towards a fairer, more inclusive world. Embracing Buckminster Fuller’s idea, 7 Billion Presidents focuses on creating the new, rather than waiting for existing systems to change.
