Purpose & Stakeholder Governance as an Impact Topic stands as a key pillar for certified businesses, ensuring that businesses operate with a clear and meaningful purpose, backed by a stakeholder governance structure that considers the interests of all stakeholders—including workers, customers, communities, the environment, and shareholders. By embedding these principles, companies contribute to an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy that serves both people and the planet.
