B Corp Climate Collective: March gathering

This B Corp Month, connect with the Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand chapter of the B Corp Climate Collective (BCCC) to see how you are able to be part of the Collective, and commit to making meaningful climate action with your business.

This event is intended for Certified B Corps, but is open to any business who is interested in exploring the new climate related standards, including ways to prepare for Net Zero, and the work the B Corp Climate Collective have been doing. Join this session to hear the BCCC's plans for 2025, and ways to get involved.

B Lab are evolving their standards, and two of the draft impact standards that B Corps will be preparing to meet are Climate Action, and Environmental Stewardship & Circularity. Some of the proposed sub-requirements that B Corps will need to start preparing for are creating science based targets to reach Net Zero, as well as measuring their environmental impact.

• Explore the Draft Standards, and sub-requirements via the website.

In this session, Mindy Leow, B Lab Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand & Sasha Titchkosky, B Corp Climate Collective, will be discussing the new standards, how we work towards NetZero and upcoming advocacy opportunities to jump on.

About the B Corp Climate Collective (BCCC)

Reducing business emissions & transitioning to a renewable future.

The B Corp Climate Collective is powered by B Corps who give time and energy to support other B Corpos to take climate action. As businesses, consumers and citizens, our collective impact can be greater if we support each other to take action. That’s why we’re calling on our community of B Corps to collaborate on the pressing issues of climate change, as the science shows that the time to act is now!

In 2025, the ANZ B Corp Climate Collective will be focussing on supporting B Corps to:

• Switch to 100% renewable energy in their business in 2025 to accelerate the energy transition. We are currently working with Australian energy retailers to develop incentives and pathways to switch.
• Measure and reduce emissions. We will host free workshops for small to medium enterprises launching in Q2 2025.
