The Purpose Coalition is made up of organisations who are committed to breaking down barriers to opportunity.
We believe all organisations should, and can do more to break down those barriers to opportunity in the UK.
Our cross-party work helps businesses and organisations to do more, share best practice, and develop new solutions for improving the role they can play for their customers, colleagues and local communities.
The Purpose Coalition includes some of Britain’s biggest businesses, including UK Power Networks, bp, Co-op Group, Travelodge, the BBC, Centrica, The Wise Group, Pertemps, Merlin Entertainments, Hitachi, Reed, E.ON, and many more alongside leading universities, councils, and NHS Trusts.
Our Commission on Breaking Down Barriers to Opportunity - part of the Purpose Coalition - is shaping the role businesses and organisations can play as responsible parts of society committed to breaking down barriers to opportunity for their customers, colleagues and communities.
WHAT DO BUSINESS LEADERS SAY ABOUT
WORKING WITH
THE PURPOSE COALITION?
“I think the real takeaway for me was the opportunity to really collaborate more, further. There’s so much opportunity, so many areas of common interest, and the power is in the collective.”
“What was really refreshing to see was just how much the Coalition are already in action in many different ways. We have huge opportunities to come together more, both in terms of some what we deliver but also telling a much more joined up story about what it is we’re all able to achieve when we work together.”
“For me it’s about the opportunity that the collaboration in the Coalition brings together. So partnering up through the Coalition to really deliver on the agenda of local communities is really powerful.”
“Learning from each other and creating those connections is what I hope people take from today’s conversations. Because a lot of the problems we try to solve individually, but together we can solve them quicker.”
“It’s enabled everyone to understand what options there are based on other people’s experience, and in working together we have a lot more opportunity even though we work across diverse industries.”
