Operationalising Purpose in Business: From Statement to Practice
About this Event

Join us at Work.Life St Cross Street for an open and practical discussion on how businesses operationalise purpose, moving beyond statements and intentions and exploring how purpose is embedded into governance, culture, systems and day-to-day decision-making.

B Corps have played a key role in raising expectations around responsible business and with the latest updates to the B Corp standards, having a clearly, defined purpose to make a positive impact is now a mandatory requirement, not an aspiration.

This marks an important moment for leaders across all types of organisations to pause and ask a deeper question: how does purpose actually show up in the way a business is run?

Our panel will explore:

• What the new expectations around purpose signal for businesses today

• How leaders embed purpose into real decisions and trade-offs

• The tensions between values, growth and commercial reality

• Where frameworks like B Corp help, and where businesses need to take responsibility beyond them

This event is relevant whether you’re a certified B Corp, working towards it, or simply navigating what responsible leadership looks like in practice.

Our panelists:

🌱 Rebecca Lawson, Global Head of Sustainability, Aesop

🌱 Emma Detain, Sustainability Manager, Huel

🌱 Jane Firth, Sustainability Manager, Vegetarian Express

🌱 Phil Hails-Smith, Managing Partner, Joelson

🌱 Ana Bernardo, Head of Operations, Work.Life

🎤 Hosted by Daisy Lavington, Senior Consultant, Greenheart

Don’t miss out on this candid discussion about responsible business practices and the power of the B Corp certification!
