This was a hugely insightful course, full of inside knowledge and experiences from companies already certified regarding their experiences. The walkthrough of the Impact Assessment portal was especially intriguing for a company looking to start on the B Corp Journey. Thank you!

"I know how to better utilise the BIA"

I know more about how to better utilise the BIA platform as a user outside of the certification process but to also support improvement planning.
