Is your brand living your purpose through social impact?
What is social impact? It’s a positive change that addresses social injustice and challenges through conscious and deliberate efforts.

Society is in the midst of a purpose revolution - driven by conscious customers, culture creators who want to use their influence for good, and a wave of nonprofits working to solve problems at unprecedented levels. Purpose and profit are no longer competing ideas; they are a closely connected driver for growth. Commit to a triple bottom line of profit, people, and planet to embrace it as a competitive edge.
Unilever's stock returned 52% higher returns compared to the NYSE composite. Unilever's Sustainable Living Brands are growing 62% faster than the rest of the business.
"We believe the evidence is clear and propelling that brands with purpose grow. Purpose creates relevance for a brand; it drives walkability, build penetration, and reduces price elasticity." - Unilever CEO, Alan Pope.
