Jaimie Harris’ Post

B Corp certification is often seen as a mark of distinction, but it represents something much bigger: a movement. This movement is built on the idea that business can be a force for positive change, balancing profit with social and environmental responsibility. B Corps are united by a shared set of values enshrined in their commitment to the B Impact Assessment. This rigorous evaluation goes beyond traditional business metrics, measuring a company's impact on its workers, community,environment, and customers. By prioritising these areas, B Corps aim to create a ripple effect of positive change within the business world. The B Corp movement is not just about individual companies; it's about fostering collaboration and collective action. B Corps work together to share best practices, advocate for policy change, and inspire others to join the movement. #BCorp #bcorporation #bcorps #goodbusiness #goodbusinessesdogood #goodbusinesspractices #good4business

I am proud to share Raw Tipis is a Certified B Corporation™ This means we are verified to meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability! The scale of social, environmental, and economic challenges we face need business to urgently step up and lead. Raw Tipis formed, in response to the unethical pratices of the event industry, to deliver beautiful and indulgent events without a negative environmental impact. We (Holly Arnold) used the B Impact Assessment (BIA) for over three years as a tool to consider people and the planet alongside profit in all aspects of our operations and to bring our mission to life. As unethical practices continue to grip the corporate landscape, our leaders and team have been using creativity and innovation to reimagine how events are designed and delivered for the benefit of communities and the planet. Embedding purpose into Raw Tipis has helped to attract and retain a team who are largely passionate about environmental stewardship. As a family run business, B Corp has helped formalise Raw Tipis governance pratices to benefit and support the team and create a healthy company culture built on trust and a love for the outdoors. Our commitment to environmental sustainability continues to help us attract like minded clients and opens up exciting opportunities for collaboration and positive impact. We’re particularly excited about forming B Corp partnerships in 2025 for our new venue, Tipis at Mapledurham, to offer guests ethical and purpose-driven suppliers across every element of their events. B Corps aren’t perfect - no business has no negative impacts - but by changing our legal status and committing to transparency and continuous improvement, we are striving to redefine business norms and help pioneer a world of conscious event planners, creators and attendees!

Did you know that most B Corps keep improving their impact? When it was time to renew their B Corp Certification, 63% of the B Corp community increased their impact score. For those of you who don’t know, being a B Corp means we’ve met an ambitious set of business standards that are better for people and the planet. At Grow Good, we believe that B Corp certification is just the beginning, not the end of our journey to better business. That’s why we’ve helped about 200 businesses with their B Corp journey. And we plan to help many hundreds more. Ask any B Corp, and they’ll probably tell you how proud they are about what they’ve done to keep making progress, even after they got certified. #getbcorpcert #bcorp #purposedrivenbusiness #growgood #purposefuelledperformance #getpurposeatwork #sustainability #bbetter #inpursuitofpurpose #impact #bcorpconsultant #bcorps #bcorpcertified #greenbusiness #businessforgood
