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!
