What if we told you that you ‘vote’ everyday for what you want in your community through the purchases you make? If there was an opportunity to vote for businesses that are helping to build the community you live in, would you?
Society’s most challenging problems cannot be solved by government and nonprofits alone, so what are you doing to make an impact? Actions speak louder than words, and B Corps are creating a global movement with collective impact. Be a part of the movement and the solution at a local level! Are you in?
The idea of using ‘business as a force for good’ is the founding principle of a Beneficial Corporation or “B Corp”. Sandbox Centre is on a mission to make our region the B Corp focal point of Canada. We know you care, and now there is a way to show the nation just how much.
Sandbox Centre recently had the pleasure of hosting a one hour virtual moderated bootcamp, which included local B Corporations such as Busch Systems, Barriston Law, B Lab, Chickapea Pasta, and BCorp Experts from BDC. These organizations shared their stories on the B Corp certification journey, the importance of the B Corp movement, why they chose to go through the certification process, and where they hope to take this movement in the future.
The Sandbox team was excited to share an announcement of new programming being hosted virtually this October 2020. The first B Corp 101 cohort will guide organizations who are ready to jump into the certification process with providing program supports to fully align you with moving forward and attaining certification.
