In this conversation, Chris helps us to understand:

• What B Corp is actually about
• What prompted Jennings to pursue the B Corp route
• What a values-based culture looks like
• What the B Corp certification process involves
• The benefits of the B Corp accreditation
• How to inspire companies to do business better, regardless of B Corp
• How to get started and resources that help
