Purpose Takes Root: Growing Local Purpose Economies
Imagine communities where social purpose businesses are increasingly at the heart of the economy, and where businesses, governments, financial institutions and community organizations work together to tackle local social and environmental challenges. This is the idea behind Local Purpose Economies, something we have begun exploring at the Canadian Purpose Economy Project.
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.
