Is social impact Purpose right for your brand?

It’s no wonder that a lot of social impact companies are jumping on the purpose bandwagon.

Purpose attracts and motivates employees and consumers alike;

Purpose serves as a touchstone for decision-making that encourages innovation
and attracts investment;

Purpose maximizes social impact; and

Purpose makes your brand stand out, inspires customer engagement and loyalty,
and ultimately reduces marketing costs.

But there’s a problem. Most of these companies, whether B Corps, Benefit Corporations or other social impact businesses, don’t have a true social Purpose (capital P). And many of those that do aren’t activating their Purpose well.

THE PURPOSE DISCOVERY ROADMAP CAN HELP.

Social responsibility ≠ Purpose

The biggest barrier to leveraging Purpose is that social impact businesses think their social responsibility IS
their Purpose. But it’s not! Social responsibility is largely focused on the actions and operations of a company
— what a company does and how it does it. Purpose is rooted in the soul of a company –
WHY it exists and the difference it makes.

Too few brands are optimizing Purpose

If you’re not infusing your Purpose throughout your company, you’re missing a huge opportunity to increase
your social impact — and your profits. Does your Purpose guide your decisions? Is it understood (and
practiced) by your employees? Does it shape your customer experience and brand story?

Is your Purpose strong, weak or absent?
Do any of these sound familiar?

  • You’ve got social impact policies and programs in place, but they don’t seem to hang together well.
  • Your team isn’t on the same page about the social problem you want to solve – and it’s difficult to motivate them.
  • It’s tough to make decisions about what social impact opportunities to pursue and activities to continue.
  • You know that if customers understood the good you do, they’d want to buy from you!
