Looking to "B" a Better Business

We are always looking for ways to become a better business. We have always strived to meet the needs of our clients and staff in a cost effective and environmentally friendly fashion. Last year we started the process of becoming a Certified B Corporation, as it seemed to fit well within the work we've done in the past decade. It was a very interesting process and raised many issues that we hadn't considered previously, which would expand the impact we can have as a business. 

It is really empowering to be part of a movement that is working to have business be a force for good. Being formally part of a community that includes leaders like Patigonia, Ben & Jerry's and Bullfrog Power to help provide ideas on how to be a more socially and environmentally responsible business is terrific. 

The transparency of B Corps reporting makes it easy to tell the difference between good companies and good marketing. We have built our business with integrity and believe in establishing long-term relationships with our clients, while encouraging and nurturing social and environmental responsibility.

Today the community launched the B the Change campaign. We’re proud to be part of the movement! Check out this video to learn more:
