Connecting the CEO Agenda with the Global Agenda
Building a Purpose-First Economy
Leaders on Purpose is where purpose & strategy meet for better business and a brighter future for all. We support leading businesses in becoming future-fit, more resilient, and sustainable through embedding purpose at the core of their organizational strategy. We do this by focusing on four areas: research into strategy practices; a peer-to-peer community of CEOs and cross-sectoral leaders focused on business transformation; advocacy for policies to create an enabling environment for purpose centered business; and advisory on business transformation that delivers on purpose and performance.

Supporting purpose-DRIVEN business
Today we are facing some of the most urgent and complex economic, social, and environmental challenges in generations. These challenges also create an unprecedented window of opportunity. We can and we must do better. Leaders on Purpose works with business, government and non-profit organizations to build an economic system that leaves no one behind. This is accomplished by overcoming the structural barriers and putting purpose first so that our planet and society can thrive for generations to come. This will set us on a path that serves all sectors and accelerates the global 2030 agenda.
Working with Leaders on Purpose
We work with future-focused executives as they push the boundaries of business-as-usual toward a new business logic, one that puts purpose at the core of organizational strategy. These organizations are uniquely positioned to address some of the world’s most pressing challenges. Negotiating transformational change is challenging, but research has shown that organizations that include broader social ambitions to benefit society and planet in their core strategy are not only commercially viable but also outperform their counterparts in all key metrics[i]. Expanding this approach will ensure that in times of crisis, businesses will be both compelled and empowered to act for the benefit of society.
