Cornwall has launched a ‘B Local’ initiative, promoting the work of the growing B Corporation movement across the world.
B Corporations (B Corp) are businesses that look beyond just profit and instead are united in their efforts to use what they do as a force for good.
There are approximately 3,800 B Corps globally, including such names as Patagonia, Ben & Jerry’s and Innocent, and 14 in Cornwall – Finisterre, Fluid Branding, Green & Blue, Gydeline, Leap, Made for Life Organics, Made Open, Origin Coffee, Resonance, Solve, Ward Williams Associates, Water Skills Academy, Wild West Communications and Voice Communications.
The Cornwall B Local group is just one of six in the UK. Its ambition is to build one of the largest B Corp communities in the UK outside of London, highlighting Cornwall’s progressive approach to modern-day, purposeful business.
Founding co-chair Matt Hocking said: “We want the B Local in Cornwall to help progressive businesses realise the importance of balancing their people, the planet and prosperity for all. We want to demystify the journey of becoming a B Corporation, encouraging all those interested in becoming a force for good.
“Together we can discover new and innovative ways of creating an enduring future for our staff and customers while maintaining balanced profits and loving the world we all inhabit.”
