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.

Trends
We have identified six Swedish trends that will affect purpose-led companies in the next year. All of these purpose trends are in one or more ways connected to ongoing macro trends. They are also further supported by patterns that we have seen in our international work with purpose over the years.
—Purposeful companies secure future relevance and improve their bottom line. Organizations that have established and implemented a clear purpose will benefit financially from both internal and external factors.
