A global purpose report

Purpose Index™ 2024

Finding the key to what makes a business truly purposeful has been a long process. We started measuring our Purpose Index™ back in 2015 when we couldn’t find a study that fulfilled all our requirements. Since then, we have perfected our index into a reliable model that summarizes the general public’s views and expectations of companies.

Purpose-driven brands are strategically positioned to win. We can confidently conclude that purpose has clear business effects. We have measured purpose since 2015 and this year’s study has nearly 17,000 respondents and 1,000 observation pairs for correlating purpose and different types of impact.
