Value Beyond Profit - Purpose Driving Performance - January 2027

Discover how purpose, ESG, CSR, Social Value and collaboration can drive performance and create lasting value beyond profit. We explore how businesses can create lasting value by looking beyond profit and placing purpose, responsibility and collaboration at the heart of performance. Across the day, we examine the practical meaning of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and Social Value, exploring how these approaches can influence strategy, decision-making, stakeholder relationships and long-term commercial success. We also consider the power of collaboration through Chambers of Commerce and the role they play in connecting businesses, sharing knowledge, creating opportunities and strengthening local economies. Through expert insights, practical examples and open discussion, the day will explore how organisations can turn responsible business principles into meaningful action. The focus throughout is on creating value that benefits businesses, people and communities – demonstrating that purpose and performance can work together to build more resilient, responsible and successful organisations.
