The Flourish Prizes are the culminating celebration of each year’s work through AIM2Flourish, a global learning initiative of the Fowler Center for Business as an Agent of World Benefit. These awards honor outstanding stories of business innovation that demonstrate how today’s leaders are creating positive social and environmental impact—and how tomorrow’s leaders are being inspired to do the same.
AIM2Flourish equips business students around the world to explore a powerful question: What is the world calling you to do? Grounded in the transformative method of Appreciative Inquiry and viewed through the lens of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (Global Goals), students identify and publish stories of real-world innovations that advance both economic success and human flourishing.
In 2024, students from across the globe published 473 innovation stories on AIM2Flourish.com, each showcasing a business that is helping shape a better future. From this remarkable collection, our team at the Fowler Center conducted a comprehensive evaluation process to select the most inspiring examples for recognition.
To reflect the evolving landscape of global business as a force for good, the 2025 Flourish Prizes are being awarded under five new thematic categories:
These categories celebrate the diverse ways that businesses—from start-ups to multinationals—are contributing to the Global Goals through innovation, inclusion, and long-term vision.
We invite you to explore the winning and finalist stories, follow the celebration on social media with #FlourishPrizes2025, and join us in recognizing the changemakers shaping a more sustainable and equitable world.
