Professional firm as B Corp – balancing purpose, people and profit
The business world of today places great emphasis on doing business “responsibly”. “B Corp” is a structure for firms in every sector of the economy that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. Once gained, it certifies that a business meets those standards.
Our presenters, Florence Brocklesby and Tim Nash, will share their respective firms’ moves to B Corps, including the challenge of balancing purpose, people and profit; the process of gaining (and then retaining) accreditation; and their insights as B Corp members.
The online roundtable allows you explore how and why B Corps may see things differently from traditional structures yet are thriving.
