I was fortunate enough to have worked for a Certified B Corp these past three years while working at AMS Fulfillment...In many ways I felt like I had "Come Home" to a business culture where the priorities were best aligned with my values. There are two distinct elements of a Certified B Corp that I want to point out: 1. Values/Stakeholders - The People within the business (Employees), the people outside the business (Community), The planet we all enjoy (Environment), and finally sustaining a viable entity (Profitable and sustaining business). 2. Decision making - Let's face it...running a business at times you need to make difficult decisions...Certified B Corps. need to make those decisions as well...The difference is in "The HOW" those decisions are made and communicated. B Corps consider all Stakeholders when making decisions. When these decisions are made, they are communicated with the utmost transparency. Imagine having the preponderance or organizations being like-minded. It needs to become the model of our future.

👉 Journey to Better Business at University of Surrey 💡 Last week we went to this brilliant event brought together by B Lab UK group - B Local Surrey. We learnt so much, but also realised how little we know at this stage of our journey at Valiant | B Corp™. We also learnt that that's okay. 🎤 Brilliant speakers, organisers and good people to learn from include Hannah Keartland - outsourced Chief Impact Officer, Dr Victoria Hurth, Matthew Letley, Andrew Griffiths, Lorenzo Fioramonti, Sally Pritchett and Soulla Kyriacou. 🌎 One of my many takeaways is learning about the new ISO 37000. This new standard provides "global future proofed purpose centric guidance reflecting what boards need to know to make better governance decisions in an uncertain world where sustainability over the longer term is what matters most."   The guidance explains what good governance looks like across eleven mission critical topics and puts purpose at its heart. In our world of brand strategy, purpose is sometimes misunderstood, swapped out to replace a vision or driven to engage employees - without actually engaging them in the process. Having a globally respected organisation like ISO - International Organization for Standardization prioritise purpose, explain its function and show its context is hugely powerful in our need for sustainable, ethical and responsible business. PURPOSE - reason for existence from all perspectives . Thank you to everyone involved last week. We look forward to learning more to help us head towards a new economy and better business. #BCorp #Purpose #BrandStrategy #AlwaysLearning #SustainableBusiness #BetterBusiness

Well, winning an #award always gives you a taste of it. There is no denying that it can feel pretty good when respected peers in your field consider your work worth #celebrating. It’s a confidence boost indeed. Also, awards and #quality marks can boost your organization's #reputation, setting you "apart from the crowd." They can also give your people a morale boost by highlighting their #achievements. If you're a young company, winning awards can signal to the world that you've "arrived" and help to cement your #credibility. For more established players, business marks and awards not only showcase your #heritage but also prove you're still dynamic and innovative. Awards can also be great for an organization's bottom line. Research highlights that award-winning businesses can acquire a sales boost of 37 percent and a 44 percent jump in their stock price.

It’s my first time as a judge with COVER Magazine for their ever impressive #ExcellenceAwards. I anticipated being inspired and I was! What also struck me, was the ‘how’ in terms of promoting our success. I read many impressive policy docs/specs where I had to interpret the benefits, many impressive products. But how these were presented and articulated in the submissions sometimes didn’t stack up. Are we missing a trick in how we showcase the power and benefits of our products???? Our industry provides valuable support to individuals/families/businesses when life throws a curve ball - we should be able to easily explain our value. We all know it but could we be better at showing it? #covermagazine #excellenceawards2023
