In its simplest form Purpose is
about marrying business value
with societal value . . .
In our consumer research we
explained the concept as a
company “making a positive
difference in society through its
products, services and operations
in a way that enables them to be
financially successful.”
In our work with clients
GlobeScan defines it in more
detail as . . .
“An explicitly stated and authentic
belief that defines how the
business creates value for itself
and society.
By aligning everyone within the
business towards a common goal,
it directs business decisions that
determine the way value is
created and guides how the
company engages its
stakeholders.”
