We are living in a time of interconnected challenges, where biodiversity loss, growing social and economic inequality, and the advancing climate crisis are coming together as a global concern. In such times, waiting for perfection isn’t always an option. Urgent issues demand immediate action, and every effort—no matter how small— counts. This is why continuous improvement is at the heart of the #BCorpMovement. #BCorps don’t claim to have all the answers or to never make mistakes; instead, they prioritize progress. By rigorously measuring their impact, identifying areas for improvement, and implementing incremental changes, B Corps are redefining success—not by avoiding mistakes, but by embracing continuous improvement and the courage to evolve. 👉 Dive into the spirit of continuous improvement and join the movement today: https://bit.ly/3M8nCzZ #ContinuousImprovement #BCorpMovement

We’ve just wrapped a week in a hybrid all team retreat at B Lab U.S. & Canada and we’ve talked a lot about impact. One way that we get to see the impact of our work is the Racial Equity Impact Improvement Program launched under the leadership of Hugues Sygney Jr. as featured in this latest article in TriplePundit. “Racism is explained in a way that provides context to businesses and how certain businesses still perpetuate these policies that continue to widen the wealth gap [and] continue to marginalize those who are not given the support and resources needed in order for them to thrive.” This is what impact looks and feels like.

🐄 🏢 The social and environmental impact of a small dairy farm is different from that of a multinational corporation. Yet, both play crucial roles in their respective contexts, influencing local economies, ecosystems, and communities in distinct ways. To navigate this dynamic landscape, creating global standards that drive meaningful social and environmental impact requires inclusive and representative stakeholder engagement. As we work to update the standards for #BCorp Certification, our goal is to make them universally impactful, adaptable, and reflective of the diverse challenges and opportunities faced across different industries, regions, and stakeholders. We believe that only by working together can we create a future where businesses thrive in harmony with nature and contribute positively to the communities they serve. 🌟➡️ Swipe right to learn more about why representative stakeholder engagement matters! #StakeholderEngagement #BCorpCertification #Sustainability

🏛️💡Culture enriches, transforms, and defines us. At B Lab, we believe culture has the power to change how businesses operate and the impact they have on the world — and we're on a mission to harness this power to build a more sustainable and equitable world. To achieve this vision, we need to help portray alternative stories of business success — moving away from the dominant narratives that sustain exploitative and extractive systems. We need to recalibrate “business as usual” so as to build a future where companies operate with a duty of care: for employees, customers, communities, and the planet. In 2023, we brought together over a thousand stakeholders—members of the #BCorp Community, the private sector, academics, civil society, policymakers, and the general public—to share these stories and build belief that a different way of doing business is not only possible in the future, but already happening today. 🎥🌟 Watch the video of our gathering in Monterrey, Mexico, hosted by Sistema B, and explore our annual report to learn more about the work we are doing to guide the culture of business towards a better future: https://bit.ly/3Uv8z7n #BCorpMovement #BusinessForGood #RegenerativeEconomy #SystemChange
