The Principles of Purpose-Driven Business

At the heart of Manifesto for Business Revolution lies the concept of purpose-driven business. Purpose-driven businesses are those that are guided by a clear and compelling social or environmental mission.

Elkington and Hartigan identify five key principles of purpose-driven business:

1. Authenticity: The purpose must be genuine and deeply embedded in the company's DNA.
2. Materiality: The purpose must address a significant social or environmental challenge.
3. Transparency: The company must be transparent about its purpose and its progress towards achieving it.
4. Accountability: The company must be accountable to its stakeholders for its performance against its purpose.
