Hi friends!
The world is facing some of the biggest crises and challenges of our time. Our environment is in rapid decline. Social justice gaps are widening, not closing. By choosing to prioritise profit over people and the planet, most businesses are adding to the problem.
But it's B Corp Month, and the We Go Beyond campaign is presenting the world with the community of impactful businesses who go beyond the harmful status quo and take action to transform the economic system. If you've been thinking about doing the certification and have any questions about the process, get in touch. It's a lot of work, but well worth it to join a community of people using business as a force for good.

B Corp Certification is not just a mark, but a global movement of businesses going beyond the status quo to make a positive impact.
Some easy ways to use your buying power to support the moment are - bank with a B Corp, buy from a B Corp, change your super to a B Corp, or work for a B Corp.

Revival Projects, a sustainable construction business, has created a new free app that functions as a trading market place for unused construction materials that would otherwise go to landfill.
The app allows people in the design and construction communities to list unwanted materials such as building materials, furniture, old windows, lights, and more, and find new owners who need them. The app operates similarly to Facebook Marketplace but with everything being free of charge.
This Native Land digital map is a super useful tool to determine whose country you're on (as well as the AIATSIS Map of Indigenous Australia).
