Introduction
More and more, businesses are being challenged to show how their actions impact on society. The pandemic and the climate crisis have increased the level of scrutiny as people evaluate how different businesses have responded to the broader situation; it seems that ‘business as usual’ is no longer good enough for many consumers and buyers in the marketplace.
Having a way of demonstrating your social credentials is key, and B Corp status is growing in popularity.
There are now over 2000 B Corps in the UK.
But what does being a B Corp mean in practice, from a legal perspective?
And what alternatives might there be, for an organisation that wants to embed social purpose in how it is set up?
This new virtual classroom seminar will examine the criteria for B Corp status, explore the journey in practice, and review the governance implications of putting purpose front and centre in a business.
