We know that entrepreneurs face many problems and frustrations when they walk the path of creating or growing their businesses. That is why many of them may think that it is irrelevant to work to become a brand that has a purpose.
Think of brand purpose as a guiding star on the horizon that keeps you going in the right direction and inspires the way forward.
There is often a misconception that businesses must choose between being driven by purpose or driven by profit. This belief is very out of date. Research shows that purpose drives profits, and that consumers reward brands they believe are aligned with value.
In the world there are a multitude of significant challenges facing both the planet and the people who inhabit it. The consumption of natural resources is occurring at a dizzying rate while extreme and unusual weather events are negatively affecting vulnerable communities around the world.
The United Nations has established 17 Sustainable Development Goals with the mission of achieving them by 2030. It will rely on governments, companies, NGOs and individuals to achieve and carry out its ambitions.
As a brand, we recommend that you focus and connect on the goal that resonates with you the most. Pick a goal relevant to you and your brand and work towards that. Entrepreneurship involves responsibility, hard work, and even sacrifice; But there is also room to make a positive impact on the world and take great pride in doing good, while enjoying the process.
People need brands that educate them about the problems in the world, with the role of communicating the realities we face and explaining the consequences for everyone. Those who make the purchase decision are choosing more and more brands with positive impact because in this way they also help to solve the world’s challenges, making them feel part of the solution. They feel like small fish in a big ocean. They need determined brands to make their mark on their lives.
The reputation of companies will be associated with their good works and their commitment to caring for the planet, giving tools to their public.
Social impact is positively influencing people in their communities. It can be generating work, empowering women, reducing the gender gap, bringing universal accessibility to all areas, facilitating access to education, health, water and food, among many others.
Environmental impact is the effect that a brand has on the planet, either by supporting environmental causes, finding a way to reuse waste, using resources that come from recycling, or ensuring that its production is clean and green.
The economic impact is the benefit that a brand obtains to maintain itself and continue generating environmental and social impact.
The triple impact requires profitable businesses because the more economic growth, the greater the size of the environmental and social impact.
