Today, over 800,000 workers are positively impacted by these practices, leading a movement toward a more equitable economy. 📣 How does shared prosperity look like to you? Share with us in the comments! ✍🏼 - Ready to learn more about how your business can become a #CertifiedBCorp?

🌱 Big News! 🌱 Renowned environmentalist Dr Jane Goodall praises Bewleys Coffee | B Corp for their pioneering work in Honduras, backing a project that utilises the Integrated Open Canopy (IOC) method. This approach ensures that 50% of a coffee farm is conserved or restored as forest habitat, creating a win-win for both the planet and local farming communities. "I applaud Bewley’s for being the leading company supporting sustainable coffee grown using the groundbreaking IOC method." – Dr Jane Goodall At Bewley’s, sustainability is at the heart of their mission. As Cathal Murphy, Head of Innovation & Sustainability, says: "There is only one type of sustainability in a supply chain industry – it must be profitable for the farmers, nurture the community, and be good for the environment." This is the power of the #BCorp movement—businesses setting a global standard for making a positive impact on people and the planet. 🌍☕ Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/ef8pXdty #BCorpMovement #Sustainability #SustainableSupplyChains #Biodiversity #Innovation - 🌍 This October, the European B Corp movement hit a big milestone — there are more than 2,000 Certified #BCorps now across Europe!

Balancing profit with purpose and sustainability? Now that's very mindful, very demure… 😉💚🌿 Younger generations are making their expectations clear: they demand accountability, transparency, and action from the brands they support. It's no wonder that awareness of #BCorps is on the rise among younger consumers. And with #GenZ representing 30% of the global population, it’s essential for businesses to engage meaningfully with this audience.Every Man Jack gets it—real engagement occurs where culture thrives, and for this generation, that’s on social media. By embracing trends, they connect with younger consumers while effectively communicating their values. And the #BCorp brand is central to their strategy, empowering them to communicate their mission with clarity and purpose “B Corp is all-encompassing. There are so many things we want to talk about: our supply chain, sustainability, how we treat our employees. It lends credibility to all these different things that are very hard to communicate individually.” - Ellie Off, VP of Marketing at Every Man Jack. Curious about how B Corps are meeting the expectations of today’s consumers? Check out the full report for more: https://bit.ly/4ePmgae #Sustainability #ConsumerTrends
