Business for World Benefit Clinic Info Session

Join the Fowler Center for Business as an Agent for World Benefit on Thursday, January 26 at 5:00 PM EST in PBL 03 (basement) for the information session of the Spring 2023 Business for World Benefit Clinic. This program is designed to connect students to aspiring B Corporations, in order to give students a chance to learn and gain consulting experience while increasing their knowledge of sustainability.

Have you ever wondered how companies become B Corps?

B Corps—like Warby Parker, Ben & Jerry, Danone, and Patagonia—are "for-profit companies certified by the nonprofit B Lab to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency."

B Corp Certification is a certification that measures a company's entire social and environmental performance. Business needs comprehensive, credible, comparable impact standards to support economic systems change. Used by more than 150,000 businesses globally, the B Impact Assessment (BIA) is a digital tool that can help measure, manage, and improve positive impact performance for the environment, communities, customers, suppliers, employees, and shareholders.

The Fowler Center at Case Western Reserve University is giving an opportunity to undergraduate and graduate students to help companies strengthen their social and environmental impact. Companies are matched with a team of students to go through the assessment process and identify strategies they can take to improve their BIA scores. Students will gain hands-on consulting experience and the chance to learn about social and environmental impact assessment and sustainable business models.

Join us for this Info-session to learn more about this program, hear about the companies participating this Spring, and learn how to apply to be a part of the Business for World Benefit Clinic.
