Social Purpose: 5 Reasons Why Your Business Needs to Have One

  

Businesses that have a social purpose stand out in today's world. Apart from earning profits for the company, other factors contribute equally towards making a business successful. One such factor is fulfilling social and moral responsibilities. Companies that stay committed to their social responsibility and fulfil their social and moral duties have quite an edge over companies that do not.  

  

Having a social purpose is not just limited to big organisations. Small business ventures often live and breathe with the implicit goal of helping others and protecting the planet.  

  

Apart from giving you the satisfaction of having done something for society, there are 5 other reasons why your business needs to have a social purpose.  

  

1. Employees are Highly Satisfied 

Not every employee is drawn towards attractive pay cheques or salaries. Other factors equally play a significant role, and one such factor is social purpose.

As a result, a feeling of satisfaction will develop among them.

With a genuine social purpose, and staying committed to creating a positive social impact, there is no stopping you from standing out among the sea of companies looking for investors.   

  

4. Attract New Customers and Retain Old Ones
