Andrew is the CEO at B Lab Australia and New Zealand, who's aim is to transform the global economy to benefit all people, communities, and the planet. They are leaders in economic systems change, their global network creates standards, policies, and tools for business, and they certify companies—known as B Corps.
During our conversation with Andrew, we discuss:
- What B Corps are and what the certification process looks like;
- How and why you would become one;
- The meeting of capitalism and sustainability (and how they are mutually beneficial);
- How accelerated consumer behaviour increase the number of businesses applying for certification;
- Interesting brands and business who recently joined, such The Body Shop, Aesop, Citizen Wolf and Good Day Girl;
