B Impact Assessment

What you’ll learn

There are three sessions spread over six weeks. Each session covers one or two pillars of the B Impact Assessment; Governance, Environment, Workers, Community and Customers. Together, with the support of a B Corp specialist, each business will complete the entire assessment, and achieve a score by the end of the Programme.

Governance
A company’s overall mission, ethics, accountability, transparency and how they build their vision and values into their bylaws
Workers
Explore businesses’ efforts to create positive impacts for their workforce.
Customers
How a company serves their customers, offering products or services that support the greater good
Community
How a company creates a sense of community within the workspace and with their customers
Environment
How a company works towards a more sustainable and regenerative planet by reducing their footprint and putting their impact on the air, climate, water, land, and biodiversity first in their business practices.

“The Programme has provided us with some valuable guidelines within which to build the business. I have especially enjoyed the advice and the people, as well as the demystification of the BCorp process”
