MORE ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
B Corps are accelerating a global culture shift to redefine success in business and build a more inclusive and sustainable economy. There are over 4,000 certified B Corps globally from 150 industries and 70 countries, including The Guardian, The Body Shop, Patagonia, Innocent and most recently Coutts Bank.
The UK is home to one of the fastest growing B Corp communities in the world, with over 500 companies in the community and over 4,000 applications to join in 2020. Don't let your business get left behind and discover how you can start your journey on becoming B Corp Certified.
B Corp Certification doesn’t just evaluate a product or service; it assesses the overall positive impact of the company that stands behind it. We’ve seen over the last few years, that’s increasingly what people care most about.
To become a Certified B Corp, you amend your articles of association to reflect the requirement of the board of directors to balance profit and purpose.
And meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, achieving a minimum of 80 points in the B Corp assessment across 5 categories: Workers, Community, Environment, Customers and Governance.
Learn how you can start your journey on becoming B Corp Certified with Hannah Cox, a B Leader who has been trained by B Lab UK to help businesses through the B Corp Process.
In this interactive workshop we cover:
- Understand the areas of the B Impact Assessment
- How to go through the legal change required to become a B Corp
- Go through each area of the Assessment (Governance, Workers, Customers, Community and Environment) and understand your baseline score
- Have one to one and group time with a B Leader to look at your Assessment
- How you can increase your impact in each area
- How to set goals in your business and create a timeline towards certification
- How to create an impact report
- Network with other value driven leaders
- How to choose social and environmental goals
- Tools and Resources to help you succeed
