The document discusses leveraging purposeful storytelling to scale business growth and social impact. It outlines three stages in a brand storytelling supply chain: 1) Supply Chain, by using supply chain partners as proof points; 2) Marketing, through simple and consistent messaging aligned with the brand's purpose; and 3) Partnerships, by growing conversations around the brand's purpose. The key takeaways are that the most important place to bring a brand story to life is internally, that ambitious purposes provide more opportunities, and that people will engage with meaningful brand conversations.

which something is done or created or for which
