Businesses should benefit all people, communities and the planet, but instead they are benefitting few by focusing on profit. That’s why the B Corp movement is so important, and why Liverpool City Region is such a natural home for this
It’s a movement of people using business as a force for good, aiming to change the current economic system to one that benefits all. 2030hub became a B Corp by measuring its impact AND amending its Articles of Association to commit to positively impact all stakeholders.
As part of any truly vibrant local economy B Corps play an increasingly vital role amongst the cocktail of social enterprises, charities and other good companies, by choosing to buy from all of these you’re helping to create a more inclusive, equitable and regenerative economy for all.
To support B Corp Month we wanted to share all the B Corps based or acting locally - so everyday you can vote for the world you want with your wallet or procurement spend!
