That’s the economy Canadians want.

Rallying for a Purpose Economy

The purpose economy drew a crowd at the Victoria Forum this year, featuring a session on the purpose economy. The timing could hardly have been more relevant, with trade tensions placing renewed attention on Canadian sovereignty, economic resilience and support for Canadian business. It raises a bigger question: What kind of economy is Canada building?

Our vision is that by 2030, at least 25% of Canadian businesses are adopting, disclosing, and authentically embedding a social purpose across their operations and relationships, and collaborating with others to achieve it.
