79% of business leaders believe that Purpose is now central to success (Pricewaterhouse Coopers, August 2022). 

Purpose-Driven Business is a rapidly growing movement which many believe lies at the heart of our future economy, society, and planet. Across Scotland businesses are reorienting around aims of doing good in the world and making a difference to society.
