The power of purpose

INC. THIS MORNING The power of purpose Good morning, It can seem hard to quantify a company's purpose--but not impossible. The 2022 Purpose Power Index is here, and it points to the 100 most purpose-driven companies at work in the U.S. today. The index is published by marketing and advertising agency StrawberryFrog and first-party data company Dynata and is the result of a survey of the U.S. general population, which looked at more than 200 companies across 50 industries and evaluated them according to their commitments to a purpose beyond profit. Check out the 20 most purpose-driven brands of 2022.  The honorees offer plenty of inspiring business advice, which is why Inc. chatted with some of the founders of these companies this week during our virtual  Purpose Power Summit to hear how company missions drive their business.
