About FutureFit Collab
At FutureFit Collab, we believe sustainability is more than a noble ambition. It is the new, workable standard. Our mission? We help your organization – whether a business or a municipality – to shift from talking to action, from planning to practice.
How do we do this?
We don’t create thick reports that end up forgotten in a drawer. Together with you, we create lasting change that truly takes root: in the culture, knowledge, structures, and daily behavior of everyone involved. We translate the complexity of sustainability into clear choices and practical actions.
Why work with us?
Because we know that real change starts with people. Our strength lies in activating and connecting people at every level. We build bridges between leadership and the front lines, between different departments, and even between organizations. Through trust and co-creation, we make sustainability a natural, self-evident habit.
Together, we build organizations that not only perform well but also do good. Today, tomorrow, and beyond.
Ready to get started?

The compass for everything we do at FutureFit Collab
Our culture is guided by five unwavering values:
Practical Leadership
No vague talk, just action. We bring focus and simplicity to complex challenges.
Integrated Connection
We break down silos. Real change only happens when sustainability lives in every department, every process, and every employee.
Co-creation from Trust
We don’t believe in one-sided advice reports. We build solutions together – based on equality and trust – that are built to last.
Human-centered Transformation
Systemic change starts with people. We foster ownership so that people participate out of conviction, not obligation.
Courageous Simplicity
We dare to seek what’s essential and facilitate clear, bold choices without shying away from complexity.

Building a Sustainable Future, Locally and Globally
Our commitment does not end with the organizations we work with directly. We believe in actively contributing to a better world, both locally and globally. We do this by proactively applying our expertise to support societal partners – both paid and pro bono – and by leading initiatives such as the Sustainable Philippines-movement. Here, we combine concrete action (from cleaning up plastic to preventing floods) with connecting young talent to sustainable opportunities.
This mission comes to life through tangible actions:
Plog the Planet Parade: A joyful blend of a running event and a cleanup initiative, where we keep streets clean, help prevent flooding, and take on plastic pollution.
International Sustainability Summit: For seven consecutive years, we have connected young talent with businesses and civil society organizations. The goal? To give sustainability a more prominent place in education and provide young people with concrete opportunities for a better future.
6th International Sustainability Summit on the future of learning for sustainability
Start of the Plog the Planet Parade in Taguig (Manila) with hundreds of participants ranging from young (5 years old) to elderly (80 years old).
Our commitment extends beyond our day-to-day assignments. We proactively deploy our knowledge and expertise to support societal partners, both in paid projects and pro bono. Together, we work to enhance and sustain their impact.
