Given - Part of Anthesis|46 - LIVE from New York Climate Week: Finding the Actionable Edge
Talent and customers choose companies with purpose over those who only prioritise profit. Businesses must step up or get left behind. But where to start?
Purposing speaks with leaders from some of the world’s most recognised brands to discover how they built purpose into their businesses. Join CEO of Given Agency, Becky Willan and a host of guests as they demystify this misunderstood topic into clear, actionable advice you can use in your own business.
Why did John Lewis Partnership modernise their purpose in the midst of a global pandemic? How did The Body Shop make their purpose matter to everyone in their business? What are Lloyds Banking Group doing to make decisions differently, to help Britain prosper?
All this and more on this season of Purposing.
