What are B Corps™?

B Corps represent a movement of entrepreneurs who are proud of their companies’ positive impact, whether it’s improving the livelihoods of their workers, strengthening their community ties, or revolutionizing current green practices! The common thread linking Certified B Corporations®, such as Toronto-based Propeller Coffee Co. and HiMama Inc, is that they define success as more than money – and they measure it using the B Corp assessment.

The workshop

Using a free, confidential online tool based on the B Corp assessment, you will learn how to develop novel metrics of success by measuring your company’s current impact in the following areas:

• governance
• employees
• community
• environment

This workshop is intended for profit businesses who are looking to measure their impact beyond just their financial statements.
