Balancing people, planet & profit through B Corp certification
Helping aspiring and recertifying B Corps navigate the assessment process with ease
You know about B Corp and are interested in it but feel overwhelmed when you look at the B Impact Assessment and do not have the time to commit to fully understand the process let alone gain certification.
IF YOU FEEL THIS WAY, I'M HERE TO HELP YOU.
​
I will take away any confusion and lead you through the process. B Corp certification really is a fantastic way to analyse your business, to see where you are doing well and where you can improve and then to act upon that.
Becoming a certified B Corp also joins you to an inspirational community of like-minded businesses who support and help each other as they all have a common goal - to be successful businesses without causing harm to people or the planet.
The first stage is to book a no obligation discovery call. This will be conducted on Zoom and is a chance for me to begin to understand your business, for you to ask questions and for us to discuss working together.
