We are honored to have Jay Coen Gilbert, one of the three co-founders of the Certified B Corporation movement and B Labs, on the podcast. B Labs assesses companies’ social and environmental performance and holds them publicly accountable to stakeholders beyond shareholders alone through impact on employees, community and more. Join Angie and Andrew as they dive into what motivated Jay to lead this cultural shift in the for-profit sector and discuss his call for a reformation to capitalism.
Throughout the last decade, a significant movement has become more prevalent within the business world. An initiative that places a greater emphasis on people over profit; more organizations are embracing their passion for impact in an effort to leave the world in a better state from which they found it. Entities such as Ben and Jerry’s, Tom’s Shoes, Warby Parker, Patagonia, and many more are thriving with purpose at the wheel. What implications does this hold for marketplace opportunity? What internal and external challenges do these companies face when shifting their primary trajectory towards doing good in the world? Is there merit in the common stigma of organizations needing to be a nonprofit to place focus on impact and change? These and questions of the same vein are what Graham and Andrew seek to uncover. By sitting with entrepreneurs, founders, CEOs, executives, and visionaries who are walking the walk, the two have the opportunity to seek out how this movement is changing the way business is being done across the globe.
If you’re interested in being a guest on the show, please send us a message and a member of our team will connect you with our booking coordinator.
