B Corp month has landed and we’re locked in the midst of the climate crisis, responding to a critical call to advocate for the planet, and act now for our future. Join us!
Driftime joined the B Corp family in 2021, an expansive and growing community of like-minded companies reinventing business and thinking beyond profit to uplift and empower people and planet. A year plus down the line, and we’re exploring local impact as well as contributing to a global effort of over 4,000 businesses, finding good company in 15 fellow B Corps along the southern coast working together to go beyond business, and create meaningful and enduring impact for social, environmental, and economic betterment.
This year (2023), March marks B Corp month, an opportunity to showcase and celebrate the businesses choosing to go above and beyond for people and planet, and encouraging others to pull up a chair to the table, and to continue the conversation. B Corp is a growing global movement, aligning triple bottom line thinking with good business, good people, and great outcomes, with everyone from our friends over at innovative workspace X+Why, to the world-renowned Finisterre sharing a vision for a better future as B Corps.
On a sunny Tuesday morning, a mighty 105 volunteers took to our Brighton streets armed with litter pickers and a common goal, spending our time collecting discarded rubbish and chatting through our hopes and dreams for a healthy planet supported by happy people. We see the value in celebrating a global initiative that goes beyond our seaside town, connecting a thriving community of like-minded people with impact felt locally and on-the-ground. Hailing from 15 B Corps exploring everything from digital design to sustainable eyewear, we collected a hefty load of plastic destined for the ocean, and toasted to our success with a cup of Bird and Blend Tea, and a zesty hand sanitiser courtesy of the Body Shop.
Big thanks to John and Kayleigh for organising the event, the 15 B Corps that came together, and the B Corp curious who joined the force! This is the first of many B Local events, with the view to explore what more we can do to support our city, and nurture our planet.
If you’re interested in supporting the cause in Brighton, take a look at Weed Warriors and the Tidy Up Team, or continue the conversation with us over at hello@driftime.com
