B Corp companies are driven by both mission and profit, with tangible benefits for their workers, customers, community, and the environment. Business partners, consumers, employees, and investors are increasingly interested in sustainable companies. The B Corp Certification proves a company is mission-driven and values-led, and it can be a great way to attract top talent and new customers.
More Maine companies are undergoing rigorous certification to meet standards for social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. This can be a powerful differentiator in a competitive market, especially when consumers are faced with the daily impacts and anxiety of climate change. In this session, some of those companies will share why they decided to be a B Corp, and what they’ve learned in the process.
