“I love helping businesses to better understand & improve their impact and certify B Corp. I know from experience that lots of small businesses want to certify but don’t always know where to start. Often finding the time amongst other priorities is hard, and overwhelm can mean progress is slow. That’s why we designed our group programme to give you the support you need to have the best possible B Corp experience. It’s full-on, but the structured sessions, hints & tips and purposeful pace ensures great progress”

Applicant requirements: Consumer product businesses who are committed to understanding and improving their impact on people and the planet. Applicants will need to commit a minimum of 2 hours per week throughout the programme to collate evidence.
