Culture Story: Our Purpose

For PulteGroup, our purpose is the foundation upon which our company and our culture is built.  Before we define our organizational goals or the principles under which we operate, we must start with “Why do we do what we do?”  Today, consumers, investors and employees expect, and even demand, that the companies they buy from, invest in and work for do more than just make a profit. They expect organizations to be clear about the value they bring to society.  It’s no longer just about what a company does, but how it operates.

To be successful over time, our company must be clear about why it exists and why we do what we do every day.  Purpose answers these questions. Our purpose is our “why”.  Our purpose is rooted in our history and helps guide how we operate today and tomorrow.
