As well as key note speeches from John Kay and Justin Welby, panels made up of senior business leaders and representatives from wider society debated the role of boards and management in making change, whether investors are incentivised to serve society and whether wider society can promote positive change. The conference was chaired by Jon Snow of Channel 4 News.

Uniting Corporate Purpose to Serve Society

We encourage businesses to define and operate to a purpose that serves society and respects the dignity of people, and to nourish a culture through which behaviours needed to deliver that purpose can flourish. To do this we have developed Five Principles of a Purpose Driven Business and a Framework to Guide Decision Making
