Join us to learn what you need to know about the updated B Corp Standard (v2.1) and how recertification works in practice. We look at what is changing, what it means for your organisation and how the B Corp framework sets companies up in the best possible way to report clearly and meaningfully on performance, impact and brand value.

One of the benefits of the new standard is its purposeful alignment with other reporting frameworks such as ESRS and GRI. This gives companies already working on compliance or stakeholder reporting a clear link, making it easier to leverage existing work through the B Corp assessment and certification process.

After all the hard work that goes into certification, we also cover the best way to leverage your B Corp status as a competitive business advantage.

You will hear from:

  • Andéol Cadic‑Melchior, Certification Coordinator, B Lab Switzerland
    What the updated standard means for your organisation and how to prepare.
  • Sofia Fedato, ESG Reporting & Impact Manager, Groupe L’Occitane
    Insights on leading the group’s current recertification and what the revised requirements look like in real life.
  • Lineke Roberts, Global ESG Compliance & Certification Manager, Nespresso
    How the B Corp process has shaped Nespresso’s organisational performance and helped bring teams together around clear, measurable goals.
  • Kate McGarrahan, Senior Director, Revolt – part of Anthesis
    How organisations can use their B Corp status as a platform for business performance and a genuine competitive advantage.

Hosted by Melody Stewart, Senior Director, Strategy, Transformation and Reporting, Anthesis Group, discusses how the B Corp framework has helped guide Anthesis’ own journey towards sustainable performance.
