The Purpose Goals set out the key barriers to opportunity and long-term participation in the UK, providing a practical framework for organisations responding to the realities of a rapidly changing economy.

Developed by Purpose Coalition, the Goals offer a clear structure for organisations that want to play a serious role in supporting growth, widening opportunity and tackling the barriers that continue to hold people and places back.

The 15 Goals span a broad range of economic and social challenges, from early years and education to health, progression, recruitment and workplace inclusion. Together, they reflect the fact that opportunity is shaped by multiple connected factors, and that organisations need a more joined-up approach if they are to make a meaningful contribution.

For businesses and other organisations, the Goals provide a framework to assess where they are already making a difference, identify where more action is needed and strengthen the role they can play in a rapidly changing economy. They also create space to share best practice in areas such as fair progression, open recruitment, workforce wellbeing and inclusive growth.

The Goals have been adopted by more than 100 organisations, including Leonardo, UK Power Networks, bp, Co-op, Sodexo, Channel 4, Reed, the BBC, NHS trusts, councils and universities.
