Purpose-driven companies and organisations follow a strategy which goes beyond owner and shareholder profits and looks after the wellbeing and development of other relevant stakeholder groups such as the community it operates in, its employees and the environment.
A company's purpose states the values the business is seeking to create and for whom, offering its employees, stakeholders and shareholders a clearer definition of its objectives and expectations.

For a purpose to be properly developed, all of the stakeholder groups must be involved. At EADA, we use our own model of Sustainable Leadership which builds a purpose based on work by the individual to improve the alignment between the individual purpose and the company's strategy.
This model enables people to learn about and better understand themselves, identifying the purpose that most represents them, and from there move towards new styles and ways of relating to stakeholder groups to achieve their purpose.
According to the Manifesto to legally acknowledge purpose-driven companies, recently presented by Fundación B Lab Spain, one of the driving forces behind the #BCorp movement in Spain, there is an urgent need to create a legal entity, "Sociedades de Beneficio e Interés Común (SBIC)" (Companies for Common Benefit and Interest), which officially recognizes the companies that achieve the highest standards in terms of society, environment, transparency and good corporate governance.
As its founders explain, "there is a need to promote a new business model, which already exists in other countries, whereby private resources are used to create a positive impact in society to guarantee transparency and good governance as well as compliance with sustainability standards."
Currently more than 50 organisations, including EADA, have signed the manifesto created by the global BCorp organisation for a law to promote purpose-driven companies. Click here for more information >>
The sustainable leadership model at EADA is based on 8 axes, 4 related to people and 4 to impact:
