This year, we became a Certified B Corp. In earlier posts, we described why it meant a lot to us and the beauty in taking on a certification process that most certainly is not easy.
Ever wonder what it takes to become a B Corp? In our case, it didn’t happen right away or the first time we took the assessment.
Check out a snapshot of our journey so far and a few of the changes we made that helped us get where we are now. We made this infographic to communicate internally and are sharing it in case it’s useful to others. It shows that we have started our journey by putting a lot of emphasis on people, with improved benefits for our employees and paid volunteer time for up to 20 hours per year.
Next, we are now tapping into a great City of Portland resource called Sustainability at Work to audit our sustainability practices and prepare us to make improvements in our environmental impact. Look for updates as the journey evolves. What practices have you put in place to use business as a force for good?
