Would businesses sacrifice profit for impact? We shared our surprising findings with Adam Torres on his podcast Mission Matters.
Gill had a quality catch up with Adam Torres on Mission Matters. They talked about the gap between intention and taking action, what ‘doing good’ means to different businesses, and whether anyone’s prepared to sacrifice profit for impact.
Is there a gap between good intentions and making an impact?
Our recent survey of leaders revealed that while 70% of participants agree that businesses have a responsibility to improve their impact, only 2 in 5 feel personally responsible to make an impact through their business.
What’s the most surprising thing business leaders want?
More than half the participants in our survey would be willing to take a hit to their bottom line if it meant improving their impact! This is huge news, because it shows that there’s a strong commitment to doing this important work.
