He spends a lot of time working with Virgin Unite, his nonprofit foundation, to tackle tough social and environmental issues worldwide.

About Sir Richard Branson

Sir Richard Branson founded Virgin, one of the world’s most admired brands, in 1970. Since then, it has expanded into many diverse sectors from travel to telecommunications, health to banking, and music to leisure. 

Since starting Student magazine in his teens, Richard has found entrepreneurial ways to provoke positive change in the world for more than 50 years. In 2004, Richard established the non-profit entrepreneurial foundation Virgin Unite to help tackle tough social and environmental problems. The founding principle of Virgin Unite is to make business a force for good. Richard spends a lot of time working with Virgin Unite and the organisations it has incubated, such as The Elders, Carbon War Room (now merged with RMI), B Team, and Ocean Unite. Richard also serves on the Global Commission on Drug Policy and supports ocean conservation with the Ocean Elders.
