Next month’s annual gathering of Certified B Corporation leaders and partners offers more than a chance to connect and learn. At the 2019 Champions Retreat, set for September 16–18 in Los Angeles, leaders from organizations that use business as a force for good will come together to collaborate and inspire, using that time as a springboard for their work toward creating a more inclusive and regenerative economy.
This month on B the Change we share examples of B Corps leading and advancing work toward those goals. Learn more in our B the Change Weekly Friday newsletter, and on our B Corporation Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram channels.
