Creating common purpose
Repurposing our economies and our businesses. PwC’s purpose means we want to work with others to help tackle the biggest issues facing the world today and to do so in a manner which builds trust in our societies. One of the most pressing issues is the dislocation that’s opened up between economic growth and social progress. For many years, three forces – globalisation, ‘financialisation’ (a focus on financial measures of success) and technology – drove growth in the global economy, and in turn ongoing improvements in many people’s lives. At the same time, there has also been large scale mistrust and dissatisfaction in growing portions of the population in many countries. We need to addresses these concerns by addressing their underlying causes. What’s needed is a realignment of our societal and economic systems – including changes to the role that business plays in both.
