“One of my biggest On Purpose highlights is the daily privilege of working with such incredible, socially minded and fun people, both from my cohort and beyond.”

Many professionals are no longer satisfied with only creating shareholder returns and instead believe that socially and environmentally-focused business models can help solve society's toughest problems. In 2010 we started our Associate Programme in London to attract and develop leaders for purpose-driven businesses. We have now expanded to Paris and Berlin and launched a CEO Programme to develop those already running purpose-driven organisations.
CEO Programme
Already running a purpose-led organisation? The CEO Programme lets you embark on a personal and organisational transformation.
