Learning and Local Impact

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 fall B Impact Clinic student teams and our partner organizations.

Founded in 2016, Marty’s Local is working to build a regional food system. In this effort, we strive to treat every staff member, customer, and vendor partner with respect and care, and we want to earn a reputation for excellence. We are a for-profit business aiming to accelerate the growth of our regional food system, and we view stakeholder-based decision-making as our foundation. When we say we are stakeholder-oriented, we mean we are mindful of the impact of our choices on every stakeholder in our ecosystem, not exclusively looking at the bottom line.
