Our Legacy

From Values 20 South Africa to Living Values

Legacy

The work of living values began as Values 20 South Africa, the South African chapter of the global Values 20 initiative, dedicated to advancing values-based leadership and inclusive development in the G20 community. As the G20 moved onward to the US in 2026, and the V20 presidency along with it, the work we started as Values 20 South Africa in 2025 continues under an NPC we’ve formed called Living Values in 2026.

Values 20

Values 20 (V20) is a global community of values experts, practitioners, and thought leaders established to bring the mandate of values into the heart of global policy dialogue through the Group of Twenty (G20). Founded in Saudi Arabia in 2020, the V20 was created to illuminate the role that values play in shaping public policy, leadership, social cohesion, and sustainable development.

From its inception, the V20 has moved in step with the G20 Presidency, with each host country advancing a values agenda that reflects both its local priorities and the global challenges of the moment. Across the years, this journey has demonstrated that although contexts differ, the need for values-based leadership is universal.
