Social purpose business is taking off in Canada. The first national virtual dialogue on social purpose business, the Propelling Purpose Summit: The Road to the Purposeful Economy, November 17-18, 2021, helped propel the move to a future where social purpose is mainstream. The results of this national dialogue are captured in this eBook designed to help business leaders, investors, policymakers, academics, media, civil society, and social purpose professionals grasp the potential of this burgeoning movement – and find their place in it. We are at a historical moment where the potential exists to design an economy whose purpose is long-term well-being for all on a thriving planet. It needs accelerators from across the economy, provinces, sectors, and communities to realize this potential.
Check out the eBook to find the role you can play to change the course of business for good.
Social purpose is an emerging trend in business – where companies define their reason for being in social terms, and place it at the core of their operations so it becomes the engine that powers the business and contributes to a better world.
It gives companies a competitive advantage, helps them navigate turbulent times, and creates new opportunities for maximizing profits and building shareholder value. Social Purpose is good for business and for society.
Through a mix of expert facilitation and peer-to-peer learning, the United Way BC Social Purpose Institute offers cohort-based, strategy-focused programs and support designed to help businesses uncover or refine their core, societal reason for being.
Our programs, workshops and services have been designed to help business leaders identify and leverage their organization’s social purpose to create positive change in their community and build new value for employees, customers, partners, suppliers and shareholders – all with a view of strengthening their business.
“As a social purpose company, we’re harnessing all our enterprise capabilities, talents, and resources to build better futures together. We believe social purpose is the business model the world needs to tackle the complex, systemic issues we face today, and are excited to support efforts to grow the purpose economy in Canada.”
