In this interactive event, the leaders of four innovating Edmonton businesses will speak about their commitment to social and environmental sustainability and will share their experience with B Corp certification. The participants include Dave Hochhalter, Wild + Pine (ecosystem regeneration), Claire Theaker-Brown, Unbelts (fashion), Vanessa Marshall, Jack59 (hair care), Michael Rivest and Rebecca Holt, HCMA (architecture). The event will take place in a Q&A format, which will give the audience ample opportunity to interact with the panellists.

B Corps (Benefit Corporations) are certified businesses that strive to act in ways that benefit society as a whole. B Corps share a belief that the purpose of a company is not just profits, but also social and environmental good. They are legally required to consider their impact on all of their stakeholders, not only shareholders and have committed to publicly reporting their impacts. There is a growing number of B Corps worldwide and in Canada. The number of B Corps in Alberta is still relatively small, but growing.
