Growing up in Belgium and working at a Belgian University, I have always had a positive image of family businesses. When we think about family businesses in Belgium, big brands and companies of which most Belgians are proud come to mind. An example is “AB Inbev,” a publicly–listed family firm. Currently one of the largest brewing companies in the world, it once was a local Artois brewery in Leuven, in which the Mevius and the Spoelberch families had been involved since the 14th century. Another example, founded and still operating in my city of birth, Sint-Truiden, is “De Blauwe Vogel,” a travel agency in which the 18th (!) generation of the family Carlier is currently running the business. Founded in 1609 as a "carriage" line service from Marseilles, they are proud that they have always been able to appoint a family member as the leader of their firm.

Impact assessment refers to the various practices of trying to understand the contributions to addressing different sustainability challenges [1,2]. Assessing impact is often by default referring to the measurements conducted after the execution of different projects, decisions or policies – measuring and monitoring what was done, which goals were reached, or who was impacted. Yet, due to the grand challenges of the future, different organizations and actors have realized the importance to rather assess impact with future-oriented lenses, before decisions are made – measuring and assessing what should be done, what goals could be achieved, who could be impacted, how could resilient, responsible and sustainable futures be reached.
