To respond to tomorrow’s generation, businesses need to future proof themselves by placing people and planet, not just profit at the heart of their decisions. All stakeholders should receive a shared value. PWC, Edie and Vogue Business have all published the study that B Corp businesses grow 28 times faster than national average – 14% as opposed to 0.5% per annum, showing that a regenerative, fair, and inclusive economy can also be profitable.

B Corp is a certification and framework for businesses to follow in their journey of becoming a force for good. Having undergone the certification, Useful Projects understands that understanding, answering, and making progress towards the 200+ questions can be an overwhelming process.
