When looking at choosing a B Corp consultant, it's more than just picking someone that can get you to 80 points. It's about picking someone that knows the community, has been in the game long enough to have seen just about everything [good and bad], and whose superpower is building interconnected ecosystems of purpose driven businesses. It's about someone who can introduce you to the community, make valuable connections, and understands how to realize the ROI of your certification, i.e., doing well by doing good.

Stuck, MBA, talks to CIRT about his many hats (B Local Georgia, B Academics, BLD Southeast), and his philosophy of changing the world by changing the way we teach, and do business.

Thinking about certifying as a B Corp? Wondering whether it's worth the effort? Is there an ROI on certification? We've been doing this for a while now. And we've seen a lot of success from the companies we've worked with on their certification. This certification process strengthens good companies. It makes them more resilient and more trustworthy. And it helps them break through the noise in an era where everyone everywhere claims to be a good business. If you're looking at certification, and if you're looking around at different consultants, ask how they'll help you achieve the difficult stuff, not just help you get to 80 points. And if you have questions, let us know. We're happy to answer them.

No matter how great of a company our clients are when we start the certification process, there is always a beautiful transformation that each company undergoes as they weave their way through the rigorous standards. We were recently a part of On-Line Instrument Systems, Inc. (OLIS)' journey to B Corp, and saw this process play out in real-time, creating a better company, happier employees, decreasing their environmental footprint, and setting them up for another 40 years of success. But don't take it from us, take it from their CEO Julie Ann DeSa Lorenz. ??
