B Corp Month is an annual global celebration of the B Corp Movement. This March, we celebrate our B Corps near and far, so join us for the annual B Local Ōtautahi Christchurch event, always attended to capacity!

We are grateful to be hosted this year by the team at KMD Brands, who have opened their doors to the B Corp community for an evening of good food, great company, and a panel of amazing B Corps from a range of sizes and industries.

We'll be taking a deep dive into what holding B Corp Certification means for business, to drive greater positive impact for their workers, communities, and the environment.

This event is open to all, whether you're a newly minted B Corp, one of the 'early adopters', already on the path to certification, or just B Corp/impact curious and want to learn more.

Shasta O'Loughlin — Head of ESG, KMD Brands

Ben Lenart — Founder & Managing Director, Almighty Beverages Ltd

Jeska McHugh — Director, McHugh and Shaw
