It’s that time of year when we start planning for one of our favorite events—our Annual B Local SD Tree Planting Event & BBQ, in partnership with Civilian. 🌳 The Tree Planting Event is a beautification project at Flynn Springs County Park. It helps advance our efforts to engage with the B Local SD community and offsets our agency’s carbon footprint by reforesting. Afterward, we’ll celebrate our hard work with a BBQ and refreshments. Everyone is welcome to join us! To find the full details, visit our event page: https://lnkd.in/gZ8kPcd7

On Wednesday, we co-hosted a group of local SD B Keepers with Classy, as Ryan Honeyman from LIFT Economy led a question-and-answer session about the V7 B Corp certification updates. If you're not sure what a B Keeper is, they are our local champions who work closely on the B Corp certification and advocate for the B Corp movement within your company. We'll be hosting more B Keeper events in the future, so please reach out to us if you'd like to be included in our next event.

🌍⌛ Today, 1 August, 2024, is #EarthOvershootDay: the day we’ve used up more of our planet’s resources than it can regenerate in a year. This date has advanced by five months over the past 60 years, and now, we would need 1.75 Earths to sustain humanity's current consumption rates. Businesses often contribute to this problem by consuming more resources than the planet can regenerate and prioritizing short-term profits over long-term sustainability. But #BCorps are proving that businesses can—and must—also be part of the solution. By moving away from economic principles that promote greed, wealth inequality, and ecological collapse, the #BCorpMovement is working towards a future where businesses regenerate rather than deplete our planet’s resources. As the climate crisis intensifies, it is crucial to accelerate our efforts to #MoveTheDate of Earth Overshoot Day. We must shift from incremental improvements to substantial, impactful actions. This urgency is why the standards for #BCorpCertification are evolving. Swipe right to learn more or read the “Environmental Stewardship & Circularity” impact topic in our latest draft standards https://bit.ly/3WpSFvT

Last Friday, we gathered for our Mid-Year Board Retreat at Flock Freight’s Encinitas HQ to refine our vision and goals for the future. Exciting opportunities and events are on the horizon! During the day, we enjoyed an insightful tour given by Garrison Goode and Kassidy Jones at Dr. Bronner's. We learned about the company’s remarkable history and innovative approach, which left us feeling inspired and energized. Dr. Bronner’s, with the highest B Corp score ever awarded (206.7 out of 200!), truly exemplifies making a positive impact through their Cosmic Principles and in all they do. A heartfelt thank you to the teams at Flock Freight and Dr. Bronner’s for hosting us and to Adrianne Gordon for our powerful session! Stay tuned for exciting developments from our rapidly growing B Local San Diego community. 💭 Abraham Chen, MBA, Adriana Guevara Gluyas, PhD, MBA, Allison Arnzen, Annika Perry, Katherine Stolin, Kevin Terry Lee, Kristin Carroll, Sam Mazzeo, Stacey Nelson Smith, Travis Kushner

Highest B Corp score in history. It's safe to say that Dr. Bronner's knows what it takes to create a purpose-driven business with a true positive impact on all its stakeholders. Thank you Garrison Goode for giving us a terrific tour. So grateful to do it with the B Local San Diego board, some of my favorite people in the world! And thank you Dr. Bronner's for being a beacon of light for business worldwide. We're lucky to have you here in San Diego! p.s. if you're curious about their practices, you can view every detail of Dr. Bronner's assessment on the B Lab page. They broke the scale at 206.7 out of 200! https://lnkd.in/gDj9D3pF
One of the best parts of my role is meeting all types of successful individuals who are making a huge impact at their respective companies! This past friday, Kevin Terry Lee was able to host some of the B Local San Diego crew at our Dr. Bronner's campus! Whether is it a school, non profit or for profit organization, we love to host groups who express interest in learning more about our values as a company. The knowledge and experience we have as a company is unmatched… so why not share them! We have been operating for over 75 years and in 2023 have managed to earn the highest B Corp score ever awarded! With all that being said, it is still a team effort. We all have to work together in order to make sure all of our companies are operating with similar ethical values that ensure our profits are making the world a better place to live!
