Collective Action for Bay Area B Corps

B Local communities exist to foster connections, champion the stakeholder economy, increase the positive impact of their communities, and raise awareness of the B Corp movement. In alignment with these goals, our Action Journey Program was designed to support B Lab U.S. & Canada’s Pillars of Change and advance local climate justice, racial equity, and stakeholder economy initiatives.

Action Journeys are designed to align with the evolving B Corp Certification standards, ensuring that local B Corps remain at the forefront of changing requirements for becoming a Certified B Corporation.

Climate Justice

There is no planet B: Humanity depends on our planet to survive, and the planet depends on humanity. Healing our home requires ending win/lose practices that provide wins for businesses and losses for the planet and its most vulnerable people.

Racial Equity

True racial justice requires listening and learning. It means doing the work to dismantle unjust policies and practices, and building more just business models and organizations. It means showing up as imperfect partners and embracing vulnerability with bravery, humility and compassion.

Stakeholder Economy

People and the planet must be of equal or higher value than short-term profits. In this new paradigm, businesses that help all communities heal and thrive are rewarded. A stakeholder-centered economy is the triple bottom line in action, a system in which human and environmental well-being are essential.

Take Action Together!

Support California Businesses for Climate Justice

The California Businesses for Climate Justice Coalition is a network of businesses dedicated to advancing bold and equitable solutions to the climate crisis. Our 2025 priority is advocating for the Polluters Pay Climate Fund, a groundbreaking policy that requires the companies most responsible for the climate crisis to pay for the environmental damage they have caused.

Sign On to Make Polluters Pay

  • Now more than ever, California is on the front lines of climate change. From devastating wildfires to extreme droughts, these challenges are increasingly impacting our communities and economy. For the business community, the stakes couldn’t be higher: disrupted supply chains, rising operational costs, and the health and safety of employees and customers are all at risk.

    By joining the coalition, you will:

    • Support critical legislation: Join virtual or in-person meetings with legislators to advocate for policies that strengthen California's climate resilience.

    • Amplify your voice: Collaborate with like-minded businesses to advocate for equitable climate solutions.

    • Demonstrate corporate accountability: Align your brand with climate justice and demonstrate your commitment to sustainability and community well-being.


    This is a critical moment for California’s future—and for businesses like yours to lead the charge. Together, we can advocate for policies that prioritize climate resilience, economic stability, and environmental justice.
