We are delighted to invite you to the Professional Practices Alliance (PPA) expert discussion, ‘The Greater Good; How Professional Firms are Embracing B Corp Status, ESG and other Non-Profit-Making Objectives’. Our panel of expert speakers will discuss the following issues:
- What is B Corp status, and how does this relate to other initiatives that encourage inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economies.
- How are regulatory trends related to ESG (including reporting) relevant to B Corp status?
- Are professional firms in the UK adopting B Corp status?
- What formal steps are needed to adopt B Corp status?
- Beyond the technical requirements, what wider changes can the firm take to actively promote B Corp objectives, including recruiting and retaining talent?
- Unpacking each of the E, S and G of ESG, what are the key strategic issues that B Corp status helps manage in “typical” professional practice partnerships?
- Do clients care? How does demonstrating high social and environmental performance build better client relationships and help develop better business?
