Purpose in Perpetuity? Innovative Ownership Models for Impact Businesses

Despite the best of intentions, the number of so-called impact businesses that are no longer generating their intended impact is too many to count. But what if a company’s purpose could be locked in place – forever?

A growing number of companies are using Perpetual Purpose Trusts (PPTs) and Employee Ownership Trusts (EOTs) to both shift how we think about ownership, and ensure purpose for the long haul.

This panel will bring forward voices of leading companies and investors who have implemented these models to share insights about how they really work in practice. Panelists will share real world examples of how they operationalize being for-profit business and driving results to purpose, and lessons they have learned along the way.
