*** ATTENTION - after Todd's presentation Max Hayes from B Lab U.S & Canada will be discussing the new B Corp recertification requirements ***
B Lab’s new standards are here, and we’re ready to raise the bar — together. For B Corps, standing still is not an option. This is a moment for leadership, to be part of a movement changing business for the better, demonstrating bold action in areas like climate action, worker wellbeing, and governance. To be a B Corp is more than a badge. It’s an ongoing commitment to keep improving your company’s impact.
