What is the Power of Purpose
Working on purpose is a tremendous way to build great businesses. The integral approach leads to tangible, lasting and rewarding results for your people, customers and stakeholders.
Power of Purpose
We believe in the power of purpose. It not only defines our why, but it is at the core of what we do. It is what gives people the extra energy (power) to go for the long run. We aim to make an impact by growing companies that can tackle the world biggest problems in the areas of food, water and energy. This purpose is for our team, our companies, our clients and our suppliers.
Purpose Noun: an intention or aim; a reason for doing something or for allowing something to happen; the thing that something is supposed to achieve [American Dictionary; Oxford Dictionary]
The power of purpose is that this touches the areas where ratio and feelings meet – if these are congruent it is this symbiose where you can make your business stronger.
We have seen evidence that power of purpose works for companies in its broadest sense including the investors, brands, strategies, customers and talents
