Event description

Bath Unlimited bring you a lively debate on B Corps, impact, and better ways to do good in business. Be part of the conversation.

The B Corp movement has taken the world by storm. As a global symbol of high social and environmental performance, it feels like it’s become the "gold standard" for businesses that want to be a force for good. But is a single certification the only path to do better business?

Join Bath Unlimited this March for a frank, unfiltered discussion on the future of purpose-driven business. We’re bringing together a panel of local leaders to debate whether the B Corp framework is the ultimate destination or just one of many routes to impact.

We’ll be joined by two proud Bath B Corps and two non-certified businesses who are delivering radical social and environmental change through alternative models. We’re also delighted that Andy Crane from the University of Bath will be opening the event with an introduction. These are our speakers on the panel:

  • Paul MacKenzie-Cummins, Founder at Clearly PR

  • Mark Blakemore, Data Engineer at Aviva

  • Samantha Curtis, Senior Consultant at The Good Economy

  • Rachel Eason-Whale, Head of Impact & Inclusion at L&C

We’ll be asking thought provoking questions:

  • Does the B Corp "stamp" truly guarantee impact or is it a box-ticking exercise?

  • How do non-certified businesses prove their integrity without a well-known badge?

  • In a city like Bath, known for its innovation and independence, which model drives more local change?

  • Is the cost and rigour of certification a barrier to the very businesses we need to see succeeding?

Whether you are a certified B Corp, a business curious about the process, or a skeptic who believes there’s a better way to operate, this event is for you. Come for the showcase of Bath’s most impactful companies; stay for a debate that challenges the status quo of "doing good."
