About #FiduciaryInAllThings
What is Fiduciary In All Things?
To be Fiduciary In All Things (FIAT) requires every institution to be trustworthy in everything they do. Toward the planet, toward people, toward democracy and truth. FIAT is essential for a sustainable civilization, and civilization is who we are. FIAT is essential for civilization and for Earth, not secondary. It’s time our institutions become models of humanity in all things, never antagonistic to it. It’s time to change the social contract between our institutions and all of us by building the best of humanity into all systems, so that new technologies and old deliver us and Mother Earth to the best of all possible worlds.
A message from George Kinder on Fiduciary Responsibility:
250 years ago, our great explosion of growth and innovation began, with dramatic increases in human knowledge, leisure, and longevity. Extraordinary! And yet, you would think that by now, after more than two centuries of development, at the top of every hierarchy of power and filtering all the way down, we would find the very best of humanity, our wisdom and compassion.
But instead, most of us would be hard-pressed to name even a single such hierarchy permeated by the best of humanity. It’s time we did, by a simple legislative tweak to the organization of every institution, whether corporate, governmental, or non-profit, requiring them all to place first in their responsibility a fiduciary obligation to all we hold dear, so that their first impulse is always to act humanely, and so our first and everlasting experience of them is one of trust.
We must make certain that every institution, every hierarchy of power in civilization is dedicated to human flourishing and freedom. With a simple piece of legislation (and a good deal of hard work) we can end war, corruption, autocracy, distrust, prejudice, gross inequality, famine, racism, propaganda and false news, and Earth dangers fostered by humanity.
Supporting humanity in this way must be a requirement for any institution to exist, the ticket to becoming a corporation, a government or a non-profit and to maintaining that status.
—George Kinder, Fiduciary Thought Leader
“I pledge to work toward a world where Fiduciary In All Things is the law of the land—where every institution (corporation, government, non-profit) acts in the best interest of the people they serve, of the planet that sustains us, and of the generations yet to come.
I founded this movement because fiduciary duty—the moral obligation to put others first—is the cornerstone of trust. It is the principle that ensures freedom, fairness, and integrity in all human systems.
For too long, self-interest has eroded public confidence in our leaders, our markets, and our institutions. I believe we can rebuild that trust—not through regulation alone, but through a shared ethical awakening that places listening, transparency, and care at the center of every decision.
As an active member of this movement, I commit to advancing a fiduciary society—one guided by wisdom and compassion, where institutions act not for private gain, but for the greater good of humanity and the Earth.
Together, we can make fiduciary duty our highest standard of leadership, and our common law of trust.”
