Mapping the Movement 2025

Enterprises with a social or environmental purpose can be difficult to find in the United States because the movement has emerged bottom-up. Different terminology is used in different networks, regions, and sectors. By coming together, we can increase the visibility and voice of the movement and open new opportunities for enterprises that prioritize people and the planet over profit maximization

 

If you are part of a purpose-driven enterprise, you are invited to be part of this nationwide survey. The results will be anonymized and used to produce a public report that will be shared with survey participants, community networks, aligned policymakers, potential funders, buyers, and other supporters.

 

The survey is being conducted on Good Market, a not-for-profit digital commons, to ensure participants have control over their own data and do not have to enter the same information multiple times. If you already have a profile on Good Market, some of the survey answers will be pre-filled. If you submit the survey and later decide to apply for a free public profile, some of your application answers will be pre-filled.

 

If you are part of an enterprise that prioritizes people and the planet, and you submit the survey before March 15, 2025, you will automatically be entered in a $10,000 prize drawing with one $5,000 winner and five $1,000 winners.

 

Survey participants that qualify for the global People and Planet First verification will receive the first year of verification for free and will have access to additional market opportunities and other benefits.

​

It takes about 10 minutes. If you want to share about it on social media or in your network newsletter please email info@purchasingwithpurpose.org and we will send you the comms pack.
