B Corp news 🗞
B Corp Retreat: Thomas had the chance to take part in the B Corp Retreat in Vancouver — more than 700 people from B Corps across North America came together to rethink business. He even got to speak with the person leading the creation of the new B Corp standards 🤯.
- His standout moment 😍: Meeting many entrepreneurs and members of Indigenous communities in Vancouver (the unceded ancestral and traditional territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlil̓wətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) nations). He also got to discuss with other B Corps how to engage meaningfully with Indigenous communities around us.
- A note for B Corps 👋: The new questionnaire with the updated standards won't be ready before June 2025. Companies recertifying before then will do so under the current version.
Psssst. Recertification coming up? Don't hesitate to contact us — we can help simplify it 😎.
