About Us
At Leaders on Purpose, we partner with forward-thinking executives to embed purpose into the core of their organizational strategies. Our team, drawing on expertise in research, corporate strategy, and systemic innovation, helps businesses transition to sustainable models that tackle urgent global challenges. Through peer learning and policy advocacy, we enable organizations to enhance their commercial viability and outperform their peers.
Originally founded as a collaboration among leaders and experts from institutions like Harvard University, Unilever, The World Bank, and The London School of Economics, we align the CEO agenda with the global agenda. This ensures that purpose-driven strategies benefit organizations, their employees, society, and the planet. In times of crisis, businesses that adopt a purpose-first approach are empowered to act for the greater good.
