B Corp Month: We Go Beyond - Auckland Celebration 🎉
Event description
B Lab AANZ invites you to wrap up B Corp Month in style at Textile Lofts in Tāmaki Makaurau.
B Corp Month is our annual global campaign celebrating the B Corp movement and with a doubling of Certified B Corps in Aotearoa in the past 12 months, there is so much to celebrate.
Join us as we explore the B Corp Month theme of #WeGoBeyond and hear from leaders in the community who are pushing the boundaries of business as usual, particularly at this critical time in our economy.
Speakers include:
- Steve Ardagh, Founder of Eagle Protect - NZ's first B Corp, certified in 2012. Eagle Protect is a disposable glove and personal protection equipment (PPE) company, based out of Ōtautahi Christchurch. In an industry where disposable products are a necessity, Steve and his team are on a mission to make them as sustainable as possible and are deeply committed to the movement and using business as a force for good.
- Noel Josephson, Founder and Chair of Ceres Organics - At the other end of the spectrum, Ceres Organics is one of Aotearoa NZ's most recent B Corps, certified at the end of 2022, although they have been in the business of organic food for over 40 years. Ceres Organics was founded by a small group of people who believed that consuming organic foods could build a better world, both environmentally and socially. Today, Ceres is one of New Zealand's most well known organic brands and we are delighted they're now part of the B Corp community!
Refreshments, food, and a healthy dose of B Corp community spirit will be provided. More details to follow, but mark your calendars and register to save your spot now.
