March is B Corp month and we're especially excited to announce our B Impact Clinic cohort! Each semester, students in the B Impact Clinic serve as consultants for regional companies that are working to complete their B Impact Assessment – an open-access, rigorous assessment tool which is widely regarded as a comprehensive way to assess a company’s impact. Students help company leaders who want to address their social and environmental impact and are matched with companies to help them complete the B Impact Assessment, become B Corp certified, re-certified, or to simply understand how they perform.
We're pleased to introduce the spring B Impact Clinic student teams and our partner organizations.
