Purpose Index™

Sweden 2023

The Lynxeye Purpose Index™ is a global study of how purposeful the general public perceives companies to be. It has been carried out consistently since the first study in 2015.

Defining purpose

Our fact-based definition of purpose is: An honest intention to lead positive change. We arrived at this after several large research studies on what has meaning in people’s lives, and on what makes business successful.
