Words from our Co-Founders

Illuminating the power of purpose

A quarter-century ago, we embarked on a journey, driven by a core belief: that a strong purpose is the ultimate north star for successful businesses.

Since then, we’ve guided companies all over the world on their purpose journeys, observing firsthand how a clear purpose translates into increased market understanding, successful transformations, and superior customer value propositions.

We've seen how purpose acts as a compass in changing market conditions, allowing clear prioritization and fostering a sense of direction
rather than aimless reaction. This clarity empowers companies to transform effectively, guiding them towards their intended role in the market and society.

We’ve followed how share prices have accelerated, driven by strengthened investor confidence after companies have used purpose to clarify their vision and point out a role in the future market.
