About us

The Progress Playbook™ focuses on proven ideas for a better world. We cover the policies and projects that are succeeding in driving sustainable development, and that could be replicated elsewhere. This publication is intended to be a resource for policymakers, business leaders, civil society organisations, and ordinary citizens. We’re completely independent — our funding comes from website advertisements, webinar sponsorships, and reader contributions, and we’re a founder-owned entity.

We commit to publishing only well-researched, objective and accurate information. If you believe we are failing to meet this standard, or spot an error in our reporting, please contact [email protected].

We work with a number of freelance writers and external contributors, and have dedicated web development and graphic design teams.

Advertisements and sponsored content

We run ads on our website and in our newsletter to keep the lights on, and also publish guests posts and sponsored content. If you share our values and would like to find out more about our ad space and packages, please email [email protected].
