About this event
About the B Corp Community Q&A Series
In an effort to provide transparency and information about issues important to the B Corp community, B Lab U.S. & Canada will host a two-part Fall webinar series in September and October. After a brief introduction, we will spend time answering selected questions submitted in advance via the event registration form, and will provide additional time for attendees to ask questions live of our team.
This first session on September 20 will feature information about B Lab U.S. & Canada’s phased pricing update. The next session (Part 2) in the Fall series on October 4 will feature members of both B Lab U.S. & Canada and B Lab Global, and will cover our global community’s growth and our standards structure and evolution. Learn more and register here for Part 2.
About the September 20 session: Phased Pricing Update
Following years without an annual fee increase, B Lab U.S. & Canada will be phasing in price increases to fund certification and recertification resources, staff increases, and programs for our growing community. Detailed information on the pricing initiative can be via these links:
- B Lab U.S.& Canada CEO Jorge Fontanez’s Pricing Update Announcement Video
- Pricing Update One-Page Overview
- Pricing Update FAQ Document
- Equity Discount Overview
We welcome B Corp and B Corp-adjacent community members’ questions about this planned increase. Speakers for this session will include:
- Jodi Beasley, Senior Director of Community, B Lab U.S. & Canada
- Jorge Fontanez, CEO, B Lab U.S. & Canada
- Joyce Sou, Senior Director of People and Operations, B Lab U.S. & Canada
Who Should Attend?
These 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. The phased pricing update affects only currently-certified companies — those companies that are not yet certified will join the community with the new pricing structure in place.
Submitting Questions
Questions 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.
