Right now, many purpose-driven businesses are struggling with how to talk about their impact and values. But there’s never been a more important time to speak up. From the risk of greenwashing to increased scrutiny on corporate social and environmental responsibility, it’s hard to know when to speak up and what to say. This panel will discuss how B Corps can avoid silence and instead lean into clear, values-driven, and credible communications that reflect real action.

Drawing on B Lab’s recent Greenshouting Guide, the new B Lab Standards, and meaningful B Corp examples, panelists will unpack authentic communications, how to speak on the things that matter to your business, and the importance of collaboration and community. 

We hope that attendees will walk away feeling energized to communicate confidently about their mission, values, and impact.
