“I want to be able to trust corporate intentions.” Almost half of respondents to our most recent Goodpurpose annual consumer survey say they feel brands only support good causes for publicity and promotion, and not because they really care. Christine Garton, USA Today

How can brands make theseconnections?

“Shared Value is not socialresponsibility, philanthropy, or evensustainability, but a new way to achieveeconomic success. It is not on themargin of what companies do but atthe center.”Michael Porter, Bishop William LawrenceProfessor at Harvard Business School

By helping employees stop smoking (a two-thirds reduction in the past 15years), the company has saved $250 million on health care costs, a returnof $2.71 for every dollar spent on wellness from 2002 to 2008.

Nestle guaranteed bank loans for impoverished farmers while improvingtheir incomes and incentives—and Nestle’s supply of good coﬀee grewsigniﬁcantly. Nespresso is now one of Nestle’s fastest-growing divisions withannual growth of 30% since 2000.

Opening local processing plants cut costs by 25%, provided directemployment to 17,000 local Africans (95% women), greatly reduced carbonemissions, and led to 30% annual growth since 2000.

When a company supportsthe issue consumers careabout most, it is rewardedwith their trust, loyalty,advocacy, engagement andincreased sales.What we call Shared ValueROI, or a Return On Innovation.
