Entreprises responsables/engagées

Je ne suis pas du tout certaine que ça s'applique ici mais je veux juste attirer l'attention sur un autre sens possible, à déterminer en fonction du contexte.

For-purpose peut aussi être compris comme le contraire de for-profit. Dans ce cas, il s'agit d'entités dont l'action n'est pas guidée par la rentabilité - ou pas seulement.

Cela peut aussi renvoyer à "économie sociale et solidaire", "tiers secteur", "organisations à but non lucratif", selon qu'il s'agit d'entreprises ou d'associations/coopératives etc.

agree Lorraine Dubuc : For-purpose organisations are a collection of people who have come together because they share a common goal for society.https://probonoaustralia.com.au/news/2017/02/purpose-brand-i...

agree Eliza Hall : Yes, I think this is it. The term seems to be modeled on "nonprofit"/"not-for-profit" vs. "for-profit." It's an attempt to turn a nominally negative term (not, non-) into one that states what it is FOR (purpose) rather than what it's against (profit).
