For Business

In today's tumultuous business landscape, seismic political shifts are reshaping how you deliver to your customers. As Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices come under growing scrutiny, market volatility and a tighter bottom line mean business is tough right now.

This partly explains the decline in businesses' contribution to social good and impact. Recent research from the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) identified that whilst FTSE 100 companies reported a collective increase of around 49% in combined profits since 2014, total charitable donations from them have decreased by 13%, equating to a 34% real-term decline. This signals a growing gulf between the prioritisation of profits over purpose.

For generations, companies and their founders have played a pivotal role in shifting the dial on some of the UK's greatest societal challenges by supporting good causes.

We believe that the time is now to rethink the intersection between civil society, business, and philanthropic minded investment particularly in the context of UK Devolution and investment in local government across the North of England.

Purpose driven companies have the opportunity to shift the dial on some of our greatest societal challenges through their philanthropy and impact strategies.

By signing up for The Purpose Brief you will gain insight, intel and be on the front foot for more productive discussions around Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) work, the role of corporate philanthropy, and how to contribute to social good and place.
