Collaboration is key to turning purpose into real impact. While there are many resources to help businesses define and embed their purpose (check out our resource library), a critical gap remains: how can social purpose companies engage external stakeholders and ecosystem partners to bring their purpose to life? That’s why we’re excited to partner with Ingrid Kajzer-Mitchell and Royal Roads University on groundbreaking research to address this gap and empower purpose-led businesses to accelerate their impact and contribute to a better world.
