Organisations Of Good

Bridging Profit and Purpose

Organisations that integrate corporate purpose as part of business are resolute in producing profitable solutions to the problems of people and planet, and not to profit from producing problems for people or planet.

When organisations put purpose first, they enable and empower people in the communities where they operate, resulting in happier customers, a more motivated workforce and sustainable organisations with lasting legacies.

Let’s make goodness the business of every organisation, and pave the way towards a better future together—becoming the City of Good.

From 1 Jan 2024, the scope of qualifying activities will be expanded to include activities conducted virtually or outside of the IPCs’ premises, and the qualifying expenditure cap per IPC will be increased to $100,000 per calendar year.
