Purpose-driven organizations
Matthew Chiles
Educational Development @ BSI | Creator and co-host of The Standards Show
Work has begun on creating a new international #standard for corporate #purpose, aiming to help organizations move beyond a profit-first focus.
Over the next two years, the British #standard #PAS808 will be converted into an #ISOstandard. The process will involve a global committee of experts, supported by national delegations from over 170 countries. The goal is to launch the #standard in early 2027.
This development comes as research from 英国标准协会 shows that 63% of people globally, and 55% in the UK, consider a organization's social and environmental #purpose when making purchasing decisions. Additionally, 63% globally would abandon a product or business acting against its stated #purpose.
Clearly, #purpose holds power.
#TheStandardsShow attended the launch of the new standard's development. We spoke with Andy Brown from Anglian Water Services and Dr Victoria Hurth about the importance of corporate #purpose and the ambitious goals for the new #standard. We also dived into Anglian Water's experience with #PAS808 and how it's shaping their approach to #purpose.
