Tim takes us on an interactive and energetic online workshop journey, with his extensive knowledge of the B Corp process and break-out rooms that gave attendees an opportunity to share ideas and learnings with each other.

Tim shares his enthusiasm on how becoming a B Corp is not the destination, it's the journey heading towards a regenerative business. B Corp has a framework that's global and independently verified with a high level of scrutiny, it won’t solve all of our problems but is a step in the right direction, and is a really cool tool to see where you aren’t doing good.

Emma and Fiona share their experience of becoming a B Corp from different angles of producing in New Zealand and offshore. They both express their appreciation for the sense of community that the journey creates. And to take use of B Lab, which can support you to ask difficult questions. It is a great way to learn about what is happening within your business, and part of your development and growth.


Here’s a summary of what we learned:

  • It works best when you get the whole company involved
  • Identify a Queen or King B to lead it
  • How the impact business model works
  • It’s an important part of the development and growth of a business
  • The leaders within the business need to be actively on board.
  • You can do the B Impact Assessment for free, anytime. It's a great tool to develop your own sustainability plan.
