Abstract
This conceptual article builds on a sustainability-based perspective and research into sustainable innovation to develop a conceptual framework, which underscores the relevance of a positive sustainable purpose at the organizational level to match the growing sustainability awareness at individual and interorganizational levels. Illustrative examples indicate that a positive sustainable purpose does not generally question a firm's 'for profit' strategy. It is defined as a higher corporate purpose, which describes an organization's enduring reason to exist in the future considering a positive impact on planet and people in addition to profits, not instead of profits.

The drivers of sustainable development call for adapting a firm's strategic goals, innovation projects, and reason to exist towards including environmental and social aspects.
