" B Corp...This is the Future";
When Otonomee became a B Corp in '23, it was far more personal to us than an external certification.. ...it mirrored our founding values. It was and is now, our Identity.
To borrow a quote from Brian Chesky Co-Founder & CEO of Airbnb, we believed that "the world should be a better place for the fact that your company exists, not a worse one";
Being part of the B Corp community, collaborating, sharing ideas, challenges and working in union to make business a force for good, is a huge benefit of putting your company through the rigour of the B Corp certification process.
In the last few weeks, Otonomee has been privileged to work with Change by Degrees, Climeaction and B Lab Ireland to organise an event in Cork, that brought together an incredible group of companies, each forging a better business path.
All industries were represented from Pharma, Tech, Legal, Consulting, L&D, Wholesalers, Consumers Goods, Retail, Supply Chain, Investment, Energy, Customer Management, Outdoor Activity. Every stage company was showcased from family businesses to start ups, scale ups, international to global multinationals.
We were privileged to have Marcello Palazzi B For Good Leaders join us to raise the ambition in the room. With Marcello's direction, we hope to engage with B Corps on a global level and ...as Responsible Corporates, we can, in unison deliver greater Impact and raise the bar in our respective fields.
