B Summit: We’re Thrilled (You Should Be Too)
The countdown is on! In less than two weeks, Ad Victoriam will attend the Global B Corp Summit in beautiful Amsterdam! Our consulting team has spent many hours walking trade show floors, but this B Corp conference will be a different experience.
B Corporations focus on purpose rather than profit, so the B Corp Summit is an opportunity for certified B Corps around the world to share ideas and best practices on inclusivity, sustainability, and how to truly be a force for good. We’re enthusiastic about learning from these industry leaders and bringing their lessons back home with us, to both strengthen our footprint and to encourage others to join the movement.
As we look ahead to next month, here are four things we are eager to experience at the B Corp Summit and share with you:
- Improving our Impact. This is our first year as a B Corp and we’re thrilled to meet the other companies that are committed to this movement. These companies have years of experience using business as a force for good and can enlighten us on ways to do even more.
- Strengthening Employee Involvement. One of the breakout sessions will focus on stakeholder alignment and individual employee contributions to company values and missions. As you probably know, one of the biggest hurdles to corporate social responsibility initiatives is educating your employees on how and why they should get involved.
- Branding with the Best. Since our accreditation, we have worked on how to best align our brand with our B Corp mission. The summit will offer two sessions led by international marketing agencies focused on branding corporate social responsibility.
- Getting Plugged into the B Corp Community. When we talk to other B Corps about improving our impact and strengthening our commitment to all stakeholders, the most frequent advice is to start attending events like the B Corp Summit. What better place to start than scenic Amsterdam?
