March is B Corp month, a global campaign that celebrates the B Corp movement and those who engage with it. This year’s B Corp Month theme is Gen B - celebrating the next generation of business, and how we can all think boldly, act for change, and demand a better future.
This March, Tasmanian B Corps Cumulus Studio and Fox & Hare Financial Advice invite you to discover how some of Australia’s most sustainable businesses have achieved B Corp certification, and the proactive steps they’re taking towards ongoing positive impact. Dive deeper into the current challenges of attaining and maintaining B Corp status, and hear from the experts about how businesses can - and should - overcome those challenges. Inclusive of a drink on arrival and snacks, this promises to be a collaborative conversation that inspires, engages and motivates existing and aspiring B Corps.
