UPDATE: We’ve extended the deadline for signing up to 15th February!

For those of you who were at the B Corp retreat this summer, you’ll know that if it wasn’t for B Corps, Do Nation probably wouldn’t still be around. You’ll know how much I love working with businesses like you who share our passion and drive for using business as a force for good. And how when it comes to B Corps, it’s more true than ever that small actions add up to make a big difference.

That’s why I’ve decided to run another B Corp challenge this January, helping to build a sense of the movement’s impact with your staff, allowing all members of B Corp teams to feel like an active part of this amazing community.

Picture stolen from twitter (thanks @sassine_makhoul) – given I was cycling at the time, I failed to photograph the one I spotted…

Cycling home the other night, I fell in behind an UberEATS cyclist. Taped to either side of his slick black UberEATS delivery box was a scruffily home-printed Deliveroo logo.

To me, it epitomised the importance of employee engagement and loyalty. Continue reading →
