On Purpose

Who we are

Our mission & vision:

On Purpose are working towards a world in which all organisations put purpose before profit thereby creating an economy that serves the wellbeing of all whilst regenerating the planet.

This requires a fundamental shift led by people who transform the organisations in which they work. We are the home for these leaders: a community that develops, challenges and sustains itself and others.

On Purpose is a unique community of people who are using their careers to create positive social and environmental impact.

We develop people who put purpose before profit, and who will help bring about an economy that works for all – an economy that is equitable and sustainable for the long-term.

Our Associate Programme will celebrate its thirteenth year in 2023. Running twice a year, the year-long programme works with a select group of high-potential career changers from a range of professional backgrounds, matching them to work with purpose led organisations, and supporting them through inspiring learning and development.

On Purpose operates as a social enterprise. We are a member of Social Enterprise UK, a founding UK B Corp, and a London Living Wage employer. We are based in London, near London Bridge, with offices in Paris and Berlin.

Working here puts you at the heart of an inspiring mix of people and organisations working to create positive change.
