October meant podcast launch! Our first full series, #ForcesForGood went live and was downloaded globally throughout it's 10-episode run, the community marked a month of milestones in November, and we wrapped up the year in December #AnnualReport

The Best for the World B Corps were announced in July, August saw a new Living Wage standard launched, and in September we published the first draft of the new standards for B Corp Certification, seeking feedback from the public #AnnualReport

In April, we launched our JEDI Strategic Plan, we celebrated the #BCorp global community reaching 5,000 (now over 6,000!), and June welcomed Eleanor Allen as new Lead Executive #AnnualReport

Kicking off the year B Lab Global unveiled a new website and brand video, the pilot season of our Finding Humanity podcast debuted in February, and we witnessed huge engagement and global activation across #BCorpMonth in March #AnnualReport

From a globally downloaded podcast, to celebrating the growing #BCorp community in person, we take a look at an incredible year of growth and impact for the movement. Scroll to mark the milestones or read more about the year in our 2022 Annual Report: bcorporation.net/en-us/news/blo

Our friends at B Lab Switzerland are raising awareness for the #BCorp community with the #myplanB campaign, uplifting those businesses that show us another way of working without prioritizing profit alone. Learn more about this campaign: my-planb.ch

As they are required to undergo the verification process every three years in order to recertify, B Corps are by definition also focused on continuous improvement, leading to their long-term resiliency #myplanB

As leaders in the movement for economic systems change, B Corps reap remarkable benefits. They build trust with consumers, communities, and suppliers; attract and retain employees; and draw mission-aligned investors #myplanB
