Our Lynxeye Purpose Index™, which covers 550 companies in 8 markets and a total of 17,000 respondents, helps us prove: purposeful companies consistently score higher on all relevant business metrics.

Purpose Index™

Uncover the power of purpose

We have 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.

By addressing real issues for people, industries, and society, companies can create lasting positive impact while continuing to grow. Purpose creates a positive loop where everyone wins, including the business.

Purpose fosters engaged employees, loyal customers, constant innovation, and lasting trust. It’s not about goodwill, it fuels success. –Andreas Kåreby, Head of Client Team at Lynxeye

A verified competitive advantage

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.

The more a purpose is a true north star for the business, the higher the positive impact for all stakeholders. It’s a matter of creating win, win, win situation. –Johan Ekelin, Co-founder and Partner at Lynxeye

Measuring purpose

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.
