About Us
At the Crossroads of Values and Leadership
We live in an era of profound global transition. From the climate crisis and rapid technological change to widening inequality and political division, humanity faces challenges that demand leadership grounded in values. The Centre for Responsible Leadership (CRL) was founded to answer this call. We bring together leaders from religion, politics, business, technology, education, and civil society to champion leadership that is ethical, courageous, and forward-looking—leadership that advances the common good for all people.
Our Vision
CRL envisions a world where leadership is guided by conscience, anchored in compassion, and shaped by universal values. Our vision is not only to inspire, but to cultivate leaders who see beyond immediate gain—leaders committed to building a just, peaceful, and sustainable future for all of humanity.
Our Mission
Our mission is to convene leaders from across sectors and faith traditions to address the urgent issues of our time—climate change, artificial intelligence, violent conflict, and inequality. We foster nonpartisan dialogue, encourage moral courage, and promote responsible action, creating a global platform where leadership serves humanity rather than division or self-interest.
Our Method
At CRL, we believe in moving beyond rhetoric to action. We convene dialogues, summits, and working groups that bring together leaders from every sector of society. Whether discussing AI ethics, environmental responsibility, or interfaith reconciliation, our method is grounded in integrity, humility, and responsibility to future generations.
AI at the Crossroads: A Call for Global Leadership
Artificial Intelligence is advancing at an extraordinary pace, offering both groundbreaking opportunities and unprecedented risks. At CRL, we believe AI must serve humanity—not undermine it. Our global campaign, AI at the Crossroads, calls on leaders, technologists, ethicists, and spiritual voices to ask not only “Can we build it?” but “Should we?”
