SUMMARY:Creating a Climate Action Plan Centered in Justice\, Part 1
DESCRIPTION:How can your business center justice in your climate action plans? Join B Corps across the U.S. & Canada to explore tangible steps to take. \n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nAt the core of climate justice is the recognition that those who are least responsible for climate change are more likely to suffer its most devastating effects\, now and in the future. Globally and in the U.S. & Canada\, these populations are disproportionately People of Color and systematically oppressed communities. It’s essential that our climate action and net zero transition plans center climate justice by placing the needs and voices of those who are most impacted by climate change at the forefront. This call will explore ways businesses can center justice in their climate action and net zero transition plans including considerations within scopes 1\, 2 and 3 of greenhouse gas emissions. Most of this virtual event will include presentations from B Corp businesses and frontline community leaders. You’ll also connect with your peers for shared learning\, reflection on our collective work towards climate justice to date\, and opportunities for the work ahead. \nTopics will include\n\nAn overview of net zero and how you can center justice in reducing your scopes 1\, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions.\nHow frontline communities are affected disproportionately by climate change.\nHow businesses can start to identify\, reflect and act on the harms to frontline and impacted communities they might be causing.\nHow businesses can adopt a climate justice framework to guide their climate action.\nStories/examples of B Corp partnerships and work to date to advance climate justice.\n\nSpeakers will include\n\nFrancis Janes – Industry Relations and Partnerships Director\, Beneficial State Foundation\nKate Ogden – Advocacy and Movement Building Manager\, Seventh Generation\nMelissa Wilson Becerril – Impact Manager\, Cooperative Coffees\nMore TBA\n\nWho should attend?\nThis interactive\, informational session is designed for business and organizational leaders who want to learn more about climate justice and how to embed it into their work. It is particularly relevant to those in the B Corp business community looking to drive climate solutions and collective action that center people and justice. \nStay tuned for Part 2 in late October when we will dig more into how your company can advance climate justice and hear directly from frontline community representatives.

Our movement is built on continuous improvement and stakeholder input — both are critical to the ongoing evolution of our standards. B Lab sets rigorous standards not to designate perfect companies\, but to provide a framework for systemic change. For a recent overview of B Lab responses to community members’ questions\, refer to this June blog post. \nDuring this 60-minute session\, we will welcome pre-submitted B Corp and B Corp-adjacent community members’ questions about this growth and evolution\, and will provide additional time to respond to questions live.

SUMMARY:Behind the B: B Corp 101
DESCRIPTION:About this event\n\n\nYou may have seen the Certified B Corporation (or the “circle-B”) logo on many of your favorite products\, but what does that little stamp really mean? Join us as we go behind the scenes – Behind the B – to learn what it takes for a business to become a B Corp. \nWho should attend? \nAll are welcome! This event is open to anyone who is interested in learning more about what it means for a business to become a Certified B Corporation. Whether you’re an employee of a B Corp looking to learn more\, a business that’s interested in certifying\, or a general supporter of socially and environmentally responsible business – this event is for everyone! \nAbout Certified B Corporations (B Corps) \nB Corp Certification means that a business meets high standards of verified performance\, accountability\, and transparency on factors from employee benefits and charitable giving to supply chain practices and input materials. These companies are certified by the nonprofit\, B Lab. In order to achieve certification\, a company must: \n\nDemonstrate high social and environmental performance by achieving a B Impact Assessment score of 80 or above and passing our risk review. Multinational corporations must also meet baseline requirement standards.\nMake a legal commitment by changing their corporate governance structure to be accountable to all stakeholders\, not just shareholders\, and achieve benefit corporation status if available in their jurisdiction.\nExhibit transparency by allowing information about their performance measured against B Lab’s standards to be publicly available on their B Corp profile on B Lab’s website.\n\nAs leaders in the movement for economic systems change\, B Corps reap remarkable benefits. They build trust with consumers\, communities\, and suppliers; attract and retain employees; and draw mission-aligned investors. As they are required to undergo the verification process every three years in order to recertify\, B Corps are by definition also focused on continuous improvement\, leading to their long-term resiliency.

SUMMARY:Embracing Women of Color as Leaders:   How We Move from the First\, The Few\, The Only to the Many
DESCRIPTION:Deepa Purushothaman\, founder of nFormation and author of The First\, The Few\, The Only: How Women of Color can Redefine Power in Corporate America\, is offering a counter-narrative for women in the workplace: rather than conforming to rigid\, male-centric standards for what it means to be a leader\, women can tap into being fully themselves\, embracing the power and wisdom that come with authenticity. And as Conscious Leaders\, we can all work towards cultivating a culture where women leaders can maximize their potential at work. \nDuring this Virtual Gathering\, Deepa will draw from her own experience as an Indian-American woman in the corporate world\, including her time as a Deloitte partner\, to offer captivating alternatives to the modes of leadership we’ve been taught. She will also offer her take on how fellow leaders in the workplace can support an inclusive and equitable environment for women\, people of color\, and other underrepresented groups. \n\n\n\n\nSpeaker\n\n\n\nDeepa Purushothaman Author & Co-Founder\, nFormation\n\nDeepa is the author of The First\, The Few\, The Only: How Women of Color can Redefine Power in Corporate America and the co-founder of nFormation\, a company that provides a brave\, safe\, and new space for professionals who are women of color. Prior to this\, Deepa spent more than twenty years at Deloitte and was ‘a first’: an Indian American woman and one of the youngest people to make partner in the company’s history. In her time there\, she helped grow Deloitte’s Social Impact Practice\, served as a National Managing Partner of Inclusion\, and served as the Managing Partner of WIN—the firm’s renowned program to recruit\, retain\, and advance women. \n  \nFocusing on women’s leadership and inclusion strategies\, Deepa’s mission is to help women of color navigate the complex and often opaque corporate structures of today—helping them not only take a seat at the table\, but change the way the table is formed. \n  \nDespite being one of the fastest-growing segments in the corporate workforce\, women of color remain underrepresented—often among the first\, few\, or only ones in a department or company. Deepa knows this first-hand\, and today\, she uses her experience as a senior executive specializing in diversity\, equity\, and inclusion\, to provide disruptive solutions for businesses that need to evolve. Her empowering talks\, as well as her upcoming book\, help us redefine power and profitability in corporate America—creating organizations that are truly inclusive for all.
