 Engage in the critical work of transformation

Most organisations have a sustainability commitment. Far fewer have the internal capability, the right NGO partnerships, or the team culture to act on it. Purpose Activation builds all three, so that shared value moves from a document to a daily practice.

Building

Capacity

Empower your internal and external stakeholders to take action on sustainability by equipping them with knowledge of climate change and human behaviour related to change. Our trained facilitators have extensive experience with diverse audiences, from corporates to entrepreneurs, including university students.

Who

We work with

Our building capacity is designed for organisations at a point of change: new strategy launch, partnership-building, team realignment. We work with both sides of the shared value equation. 

Companies
Teams that have a sustainability strategy but need the internal culture, language, and capability to execute it — across functions, not just within the ESG or CSR team.
C-suite & senior leaders
Executives who need to align their organisation around a shared purpose and understand how to position that purpose as a competitive advantage.
Cross-functional teams
Operations, sales, communications, and frontline teams who need the tools and context to embed sustainability into their day-to-day decisions — not just receive it as a directive from above.
NGOs & social enterprises
Organisations that want to engage the corporate sector more strategically — building the shared value narrative and partnership skills to move beyond transactional funding relationships.

“Under the guidance of our facilitator, we have brainstormed and developed ideas for achieving business and social value at the same time. It's necessary to think from different perspectives and be innovative.” Corinne, after a Business with Purpose workshop "In the business world we always focus on revenue and profits. However, now I realised that company's success is not solely measured by the money they earn but also the value they shared to people and the world." Kaylin, after a Beyond Zero workshop "I really enjoyed playing the 42-card Climate Fresk. Now, I am able to understand the causes and effects of climate change. It was eye-opening for me!" Erika, after Climate Fresk "Well planned training with various types of interactive activities. The "how" part helps us to rethink our business to create shared value. Good job! ” Eric, after a CSV Foundation training
