Embedding Human Sustainability in B Corp Organisations

Recent changes to the B Corp standards have seen it move from assessment to accountability.

Businessess must now show that workers are treated fairly, engaged meaningfully, and represented in governance.

Wellbeing is no longer a campaign calendar.
It’s part of your governance, purpose, and risk framework.

Under the new standards businesses must now:

  • Map and prioritise stakeholders, including workers, suppliers, and local communities
  • Develop policies that demonstrate how decisions consider the wellbeing and interests of those groups
  • Ensure governance accountability, with wellbeing monitored and reported by the highest governing body
  • Integrate wellbeing metrics into ESG and impact reporting cycles.

This is where most organisations get exposed

Policies are easy to write.
Human sustainability is not.

In this 45-minute workshop, Emily Pearson will show what it actually takes to deliver the standards - not just interpret them using the Human Sustainability Framework by the Wellbeing Lead Academy®

You’ll leave with

  • A clear link between B Corp standards and strategic wellbeing
  • 9 actions to strengthen impact and performance through the 9 Human Sustainability Disciplines

The event will also include time for networking and some light refreshments.

The cost of the ticket covers the event entrance plus 50% charitable donation towards the B Local Change Fund managed through the Point North Community Foundation.
