SUMMARY:B Corp Community Q&A Fall Series\, Part 2: Growth & Evolving Standards

Over the past two years this has led to a huge acceleration in both the number of Certified B Corporations and companies applying for certification. The growing visibility of the B Corp movement invites scrutiny\, and rightfully so. There have been conversations about B Lab’s standards and certification among B Corps\, sustainability advocates\, consumers\, and other stakeholders. This has grown as we welcome larger\, more complex businesses into the B Corp movement. \nThis feedback is welcome. 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. Speakers will include: \n\nEleanor Allen\, Lead Executive\, B Lab Global\nJodi Beasley\, Senior Director of Community\, B Lab U.S. & Canada\nSarah Ford\, Senior Community Success Manager\, B Lab U.S. & Canada\nJorge Fontanez\, CEO\, B Lab U.S. & Canada\nDan Osusky\, Head of Standards and Insights\, B Lab Global\nLindsey Wilson\, Associate Director of Growth\, B Lab U.S. & Canada\n\nWho Should Attend?\nThese webinars are geared toward our community of current Certified B Corporation businesses and B Corp-adjacent communities or networks like B Academics\, B Local members\, growth partners and B Corp consultants. \nSubmitting Questions\nQuestions you would like to see addressed during the Q&A portion of the webinar can be submitted in advance during registration. General questions can be directed to community@bcorporation.net.

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.
