We will make it our mission to help transition Wales to an economy that puts people and planet first. As a result, governments at all levels, businesses, and communities, are making this happen. 

Future Generations 2025: Recommendations

1. Welsh Government should identify key sectors where the private sector falls short in implementing the Real Living Wage – and develop plans to implement the Real Living Wage with businesses in these sectors.
2. The Welsh Government should ensure all businesses receiving Welsh Government support meet a standard set of commitments aligned to the Well-being of Future Generations Act. This should include Real Living Wage accreditation as a baseline requirement.
3. Welsh Government should set a target to double the size of the social business sector in Wales by 2035 and continue support to Social Business Wales and Social Investment Cymru to achieve this.
4. Welsh Government should work with the wider public sector to launch a Co-operative Development Hub and support social enterprises in expanding into public and private sector supply chains.
5. Welsh Government should urgently develop an action plan by 2027 to ensure Wales has the skills to achieve a just transition to a low carbon well-being economy, and at the same time improve post-16 educational outcomes and reduce inequalities.
6. Welsh Government should establish a commission to examine artificial intelligence’s impact across public services, workforce planning, and digital infrastructure, and set out a clear national direction for ethical and responsible artificial intelligence deployment.
7. Welsh Government’s economic mission and all four regional economic strategies of Corporate Joint Committees must fully embed the Well-being of Future Generations Act as the framework for designing economic development strategies and in implementing and measuring progress.
8. By 2027 all public sector organisations must commit to a plan on how they will achieve Real Living Wage accreditation.
9. Welsh Government and public bodies should ensure every community in Wales has access to a local repair and re-use hub by 2035.
