To the Vermont B Corp Collective Launch Party!

In partnership with Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility and B Lab

With special keynote speaker

Jorge Fontanez, CEO of B Lab U.S./Canada.

Did you know that Vermont can claim the most certified B Corporations per capita? These B Corps are in good company among more than 6,000 companies worldwide that have committed to being a force for good. Their core values include commitments to anti-racism, gender equity, climate change activism, and a durable and prosperous economy for all.

The Vermont B Corp community has been joined together for years as they explored their shared interests. Out of a desire for deeper impact, collaboration and connection to the global B Corp movement, they are now launching the Vermont B Corp Collective with the support of B Lab! The members of the B Lab U.S./Canada board will be in attendance, and CEO Jorge Fontanez will share his vision of our movement. Join us to celebrate the launch of this new era for Certified B Corporations in Vermont!
