Love seeing all the effort that B Lab is putting into research and information! Their latest insights report about B Corp Brand Awareness shows some really encouraging trends: ? Half of Americans aged 25 and younger are now familiar with B Corps. Globally, those under 40 consistently demonstrate greater awareness, signaling a generational shift in values and purchasing behaviors. ? Consumers who recognize the B Corp Certification are significantly more likely to purchase from certified businesses, illustrating the direct impact of awareness on sales. ? It turns out that the more B Corps in a region, the greater the awareness of the brand. This is great news in the PNW where we have a hefty concentration of B Corps - check out the B Local PDX directory to peruse them all: https://lnkd.in/d-J98G8b Check out the full report, including some super interesting case studies, here: https://lnkd.in/g_J4re_6
