Purposeful Business
Harnessing the power of business for good to build a sustainable and equitable future.
Why it matters
Business has brought products and services to customers and increased living standards, contributing to social and economic prosperity. Yet in pursuing these goals, some consequences for our planet have been ignored. This has led to a draining of Earth’s long-term natural – and human – resources.
What we do
We believe that the power of business can be redirected to reverse these trends. Businesses and investors can play a vital role in the search for solutions by harnessing their ingenuity.
We partner with those developing the methods to assess the impact that companies have on people and planet. We incentivise businesses to contribute to the solution.
Our partners work with civic actors, financiers, and the public sector to hold businesses accountable to their commitments. Ethical, values-driven finance – investment for profit and for purpose – can channel more funds into solving the most pressing planetary and social issues of our time.
Where we focus
We prioritise our work with partners in Europe, Asia and North America.
