B Corp™ Certification & Recertification
I guide your team through B Corp Certification on the B Lab Standards V2, from assessing your performance and gathering evidence to submission and verification. The standards cover seven Impact Topics, including Climate Action, Human Rights, and Fair Work. Certification is an ongoing commitment, so I also help Certified B Corporations recertify and keep improving.

Government Affairs & Collective Action
The B Lab Standards now ask B Corps to drive systemic social and environmental change through collective action. For many companies, this is new ground. I bring more than 20 years of leading advocacy for social and environmental change, and I co-authored The B Corp Advocacy Toolkit, published by B Lab U.S. & Canada. I help your company meet the Government Affairs & Collective Action (GACA) requirements and use its voice for a future that benefits people and the planet.
