Summer Sustainability Sizzle Webinar: Practical and Tangible Climate Action
Recently B Lab (the global non-profit behind B Corp movement) launched new standards for B Corp Certification to galvanize business action on the world’s critical social and environmental issues including Climate Action and Environmental Stewardship & Circularity to help companies assess their environmental impacts and take meaningful action to minimize them in their operations and value chain. This webinar is for those interested in pursing B Corp certification, and those simply looking for a clear roadmap for how to embed meaningful environmental commitments into your business practices.
