In joining the B Corp community, SucSeed has aligned ourselves with 13 other Atlantic Canadian companies, over 300 Canadian companies, and almost 4000 companies around the world.
So, you may be thinking…
What is a B Corp anyway?
B Corps are for-profit companies, certified by the nonprofit B Lab, who have met the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability.
Why does it matter to SucSeed?
This achievement aligns with the foundational principles upon which SucSeed was built. SucSeed first sprouted from Enactus Memorial, a team of student leaders who use social entrepreneurship to create change at home and around the world. Progressing from this, becoming a Certified B Corporation further demonstrates our commitment to leaving the world better than we found it. B Corps use the power of business to solve global challenges, which is what SucSeed has always and will continue to strive for.
What’s next?
Although earning our B Corp Certification is a great achievement, it is an even bigger commitment.
We are formally committed to donating the equivalent of 2% of revenues or more to charitable partners each year (including in-kind product donations).
At the core of the B Corporation Certification process is the B Impact Assessment, an extensive scorecard of our impact.
By doing the assessment, we identified areas of improvement for ourselves. From this, we strive to make an extra effort in these areas, exercising a growth mindset, to make changes that will benefit our employees, our customers, and our world. We look forward to sharing our results with you over the years to come.
