The corporate purpose, a strategic priority for managers and investors around the world

The Corporate Purpose Roadmap® is here, a new methodology to help companies in the process of creating, implementing, and activating their corporate purpose Superunion and Corporate Excellence - Center for Reputation Leadership together with DKV Seguros and BlackRock discuss the strategic importance of purpose and stakeholder capitalism Madrid, October 2nd 2020. In a context marked by the COVID-19 crisis, the corporate purpose has become a strategic priority for executives and investors worldwide. Companies must now abandon models focused exclusively on their shareholders to respond to all their stakeholders' needs. This has been stated in the launch of The Corporate Purpose Roadmap®, a new methodology developed by the brand consultancy firm Superunion and by Corporate Excellence - Centre for Reputation Leadership to help organizations create, implement, and activating their corporate purpose.The results of the presented studies, together with the continuous analysis of business practices and, most notably, the effects of the COVID-19 crisis, has demonstrated the fundamental role corporate purpose has. It is a lever for transforming and activating positive and value-creating behaviours aligned around a shared system of beliefs and values. Nevertheless, this purpose has not been defined or implemented in line with a rigorous framework in many cases. Consequently, it has become a mere publicity stunt or irrelevant message or, in the worst of cases, a counterproductive exercise. In the words of Ángel Alloza, CEO of Corporate Excellence - Centre for Reputation Leadership, "a poorly conceived purpose lacks coherence and authenticity, and results in a lack of legitimacy and trust.""The consideration of one's benefit in parallel with that of society is not at odds with good economic and financial results, but rather the opposite," assures Aitor Jauregui, managing director of Blackrock in Spain, Portugal, and Andorra. The annual letters on corporate governance from Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, warned the need for companies to have values and principles that focus on the generation of value beyond profit and loss accounts. It is a significant example of how social change we witness is also reflected in investors' decisions, demanding more inclusive, integrated, and ethically responsible behavior. Jauregui reminds us that Fink's letter from 2019 was solely focused on the need for companies to understand their purpose. "As stated by Larry Fink in his 2019 letter, the purpose is so much more than a mere slogan or marketing campaign. It is the fundamental reason why a company exists: what they do each day to generate value for their stakeholders," the director of Blackrock Iberia concludes.The Corporate Purpose Roadmap® demonstrates how companies can define a purpose that connects employees, clients, and society. To activate supportive behaviors and attitudes, the corporate purpose must be created from the "inside out," through a process of strategic reflection and mechanisms that involve employees. It is strengthened by the "outside-in" through the integration of the expectations of the various stakeholders. In this sense, the CEO of DKV Seguros, Josep Santacreu, highlights that "launching a project for defining or redefining corporate purpose is a strategic activity that requires clear conviction from upper management and it should never be perceived as a fad that we are obligated to take on". In the words of Santacreu, "the definition, implementation and activation of purpose must stem from a reflected and consensual decision, and we must be willing to assume all implications and consequences with a long-term vision".The need for a demonstrated and proven methodology for effectively defining a corporate purpose and, above all, activating it in line with the needs of a company is why we have now launched The Corporate Purpose Roadmap®: a model that enables the identification of a company's true leitmotif - their raison d'être - (why and for what purpose the company exists), how they can develop this purpose (guiding values), what products or services they offer (mission statement), and what scope and the specific contribution they will offer their principal stakeholders (the vision they want to build with them).According to Almudena Clemente, Head of Strategy at the brand consulting firm Superunion, "defining a corporate purpose is relatively easy. What is harder is making it a reality and implementing it in a company's day-to-day activities to serve as a filter and a valuable and authentic guide for the company. Because having a purpose isn't about being perfect. It's about striving each day to be better".Task forces have developed the project at Superunion and Corporate Excellence, led by Almudena Clemente, Head of Strategy at Superunion, and Clara Fontán, Director of Intelligence & Knowledge at Corporate Excellence – Centre for Reputation Leadership. It has counted on the supervision and technical direction of Ángel Alloza, CEO at Corporate Excellence – Centre for Reputation Leadership and Pilar Domingo, Managing Director at Superunion Madrid.

How can we get staff to commit to corporate reputation?

Corporate Excellence and Alcor create a new management model: Staff commitment over corporate reputation Until now, we have always measured what do employees think of their company’s reputation. However, under the conviction that employees are not just another stakeholder, but the ones who make or break the company’s reputation through the brand experience they provide to customers and citizens, we have gone the extra mile. We wanted to know not just employees’ opinions but how can we activate their commitment to promote reputation. This has been the base upon which we have built our new management model, along with our partners Alcor, a company specialised in HR and internal communication, and a strategic ally for Corporate Excellence in this field. A new management model: the starting point Intangible assets generate value for the company but its measuring and impact have room for improvement. At Corporate Excellence we work on this and create tools and models to achieve excellence in management. Until now, models for the management of corporate reputation have concentrated on measuring and evaluating the reputation that a company has among its stakeholders. However, in this occasion we wished to get to the workers’ reasons and emotions, to motivate them to give their best in their work and thus improve the brand experience and by consequence, corporate reputation. Employees are the protagonists of the strengths and weaknesses that characterise an organisation, and a very relevant agent in the shaping of their company’s reputation. Under this framework, we have kickstarted this initiative, which has allowed us to design and implement a model that identifies the buttons companies need to press to generate interest among employees and get them to promote corporate reputation. What makes an employee speak highly of their company? What makes them defend before a client the processes that their company has in place to service them? What impact has their sense of responsibility in managing properly a customer’s discontent when expectations aren’t met? These have been the questions we have tried to answer in this project. The model that has been developed during 2015 allows us to identify the primary buttons that impact on the professional’s real behaviour to promote reputation. How have we done it? Collaborative co-creation Creating this model is a clear example of Corporate Excellence’s working process, in synch with what has been called collaborative economy. Alcor, given their long trajectory in this field, the scientific council of the Foundation and five big Spanish companies – Agbar (Suez Water Spain), Grupo Correos, ING Bank, Repsol and Telefónica have all participated in this project. The empirical research has been carried out with these companies, which have formed the first focus group to work in the development of the new model. All together, we have created a working team to research a topic until now not explored in the literature of commitment and corporate reputation. This R&D project has counted with an initial qualitative phase where several focus groups have taken place, integrated by employees of the companies involved. There has been a latter quantitative phase to test the questionnaires based on the sample test of each company. The results that we sought this R&D project, of which we are very proud, are the following: Identifying factors that impact on the responsibility / participation of the employees in the promotion of corporate reputation. Structuring said factors in a model that gives out indicators; differentiating operating “buttons” for the Directors to increase such sense of responsibility, therefore improving its reputation management systems. Gauging an initial marker of the levels of responsibility shown by the employees partaking in this research, which will help fine tune the model and create a common benchmark; as well as identifying improvement areas which can be defined in a plan of action. This pilot project has allowed us to create an innovating model and test its scientific viability. It will also helped discover the factors impacting on conduct and which will allow promoting behaviours favourable to the global corporate reputation. We have finished the methodology of this research, and are ready to begin a second edition that will cement the model and offer a more solid benchmark. In the following months we will organise a meeting to present the main findings. Companies who are interested in finding out more about our methods and delve deeper only have to contact us. inShare
