Welcome to the very first episode of our first season of the Big Spark Cast.

In today’s episode, I am delighted to be sitting down with Paul Polman.

Paul is the epitome of courageous leadership. He is a renowned business leader, author, campaigner and influencer

Many of us came to know Paul as the CEO of Unilever where famously for over a decade during his tenure, Unilever was one of the best-performing companies in its sector.

Paul is now the Co-founder and Chair of IMAGINE. He was involved in the development of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and continues to work with organisations and industries across the world to bring about the 2030 agenda. In 2021, Paul co-authored, Net Positive: How Courageous Companies Thrive by Giving More Than They Take.

2 | What are purpose driven conversations - and why we need them

Here at Common Purpose, we are passionate about working with people to create a more equitable and inclusive world.

Which means we love a purpose-driven conversation. In fact, we believe we need them, not because we need everyone to hold the same point of view, but because we need to build bridges between people who do not – to foster a greater sense of social cohesion, tolerance, and collective responsibility for the issues that affect individuals and society as a whole.

In this second episode we want to dig a bit deeper into what really are Purpose-driven conversations, why we need to have them, how to start them – and of course, keep them going.
