Purpose Readiness™ evaluation

Is your company seen as making a positive contribution?
Let’s find out if your organization is ready for a corporate purpose.

Our approach

The Purpose Readiness™ Index (PRI) is a metric designed to measure the credibility of companies regarding their corporate purpose and positive contributions to society. Developed by Globeone, this index assesses organizations on how well they are perceived in terms of sustainability, authenticity, and social relevance by the public. The evaluation is based on regular surveys of thousands of consumers who rate various organizations on these dimensions. The PRI is particularly insightful for top managers, communication responsibles and sustainability officers as it aggregates multiple image factors that significantly influence the overall perception of a brand, accounting for over 40% of its total evaluation.

Results to expect

A high score in the PRI suggests that a company is seen as honest, authentic, responsible, sustainable, and future-proof, indicating that it is “purpose ready”. This readiness means the company can convincingly communicate its purpose to stakeholders and the public, aligning with its commitments to sustainability and ethical practices and thus avoiding negative reputational impacts. Overall, utilizing purpose successfully helps organizations to elevate their brand reputation, to ensure the license to operate, to attract more talents esp. from younger generations and to establish participative leadership and a more attractive corporate culture.
