At the same time many CEOs have acknowledged that a corporation’s purpose must go beyond shareholder value and include concern for employees, consumers, and communities.

FixUS commissioned a poll examining Americans’ underlying values and goals for themselves and their country. The purpose of the poll was to serve as a jumping off point for a citizen-led engagement effort intended to facilitate a better understanding of commonalities we can build upon. We asked respondents to look beyond the current crises we face with the hope of beginning to build a foundation for restoring a shared sense of purpose in these divided times.
