A giant ‘B’ behind B Corp Certification arrived in the North East this week as part of a drive to build understanding of the movement.
Representatives from regional companies who are certified B Corps stood with the 6ft ‘B’ at the Angel of the North to celebrate the growing community of businesses who are acting as a force for good. There are now 12 Certified B Corporations, or B Corps in the North East including Robson Laidler Accountants, Rheal Superfoods, Sail Creative, UMi, Berghaus and Space Architecture.
To certify, a company must measure and improve their impact on their workers, customers, community, and the environment. B Corps change their legal articles to consider the impact of their decisions on people and the planet alongside profit. The B stands for ‘benefit for all’.
