Description

Every entrepreneur starts a business with the good intention to solve a problem and benefit society. Over time pressures from investors, customers and market demand can dilute the focus on impact. For our upcoming panel, The B Corp Effect: Setting New Standards as an Impact Driven Business, hear how three businesses (including B Corps) are using standards as guardrails for running a good business. They'll share what they didn't expect, what it takes to maintain certain certifications, and how these certifications have built stronger relationships with their customers. This panel will be moderated by Ben Anderson, who most recently served as CEO of B Lab, the organization behind B Corp Certification. The event is a part of RI HUB's Startup Week 2022. Coming up! Panel speakers to be announced.
