PEOPLE & PLANET UNITED

Global Health & Purpose 2025

Global Health & Purpose is a platform and movement dedicated to advancing human well-being and environmental sustainability through purpose-driven leadership. As part of the broader People & Planet United initiative, it brings together cross-sector voices—business leaders, innovators, NGOs, academics, and policymakers—committed to building a healthier, more equitable, and sustainable world.

At its core, Global Health & Purpose recognizes the inextricable link between the health of people and the health of the planet. It fosters collaboration, amplifies transformative ideas, and showcases solutions that move beyond traditional silos to address climate, equity, access to care, and systemic resilience.

More than a convening space, this initiative is a catalyst—mobilizing leadership around the shared belief that purpose is not a slogan, but a responsibility. It invites action over optics, outcomes over promises, and alignment between business performance, social impact, and environmental stewardship.

In a time of growing urgency, Global Health & Purpose serves as a unifying force—empowering those who lead with principle to shape a future where people and planet thrive together.
