Event description

NOTE: Tickets are no longer available for this event. If you'd like to watch the panel livestream from 10:15am, you can do so here on Stuff.

It has never been more important for business to take climate action. Our community of Certified B Corps in Tāmaki Makaurau and across Aotearoa are paving the way for a new kind of economy - one that is driven by using business as a force for good, to protect our people, our communities, and our planet.

Come along to this event to hear firsthand about how some Kiwi B Corps are using innovative methods to tackle climate change, and find out how your business could become a B Corp and contribute to a more regenerative future economy.

Speakers will include:

Giorgia Lloyd, Business Operations Director at Maggie Marilyn
Kirsty McKay, Co-Founder at Sawmill Brewery
Simon Coley, Co-Founder at Karma Drinks
Mike Carroll, Co-Founder at Brightly Solutions
Becky Lloyd, CEO at Toitū Envirocare

Kindly hosted at Stuff's Auckland office, or livestreamed for those who can't make it in person.

Hosted as part of the Auckland Climate Festival

B Lab is the not-for-profit network transforming the global economy to benefit all people, communities, and the planet.

We began in 2006 with the idea that a different kind of economy was not only possible, but necessary — and that business could lead the way towards a new, stakeholder-driven model. B Lab became known for certifying B Corps: companies that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.

But we do much more than that. We’re building the B Corp movement to change our economic system — and to do so, we must change the rules of the game. B Lab creates standards, policies, tools, and programs that shift the behaviour, culture, and structural underpinnings of capitalism. We mobilise the B Corp community towards collective action to address society’s most critical challenges.

Our team in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand supports B Corps to measure and improve their impact, and to tell stories that inspire new purpose-driven businesses to do the same.
