Meet the Spring '25 B Impact Clinic Cohort

SHARE

The Sustainability Institute is proud to provide opportunities for students to work alongside community partners in advancing their sustainability projects, initiatives and goals. 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.
