We are a B Corp certified company from 2016 and we are supporting companies of different size and sector from BIA activities to reach B Corp certification.

We focus on cross-department engagement, from employee to the Board, through various steps, adapting them to the company context/sector and profile/dimension:

• Kick-off workshops to introduce B Corp and engage all Departments.
• Technical support during BIA process
• Gap Analysis with different key Sustainability standards and tools
• Identification of key thematic actions to reach BIA breakeven with a dedicated action plan, timing and Stakeholder Engagement process.
• Technical support and supervision to implement key actions on the 5 B Corp dimensions with links to SDGs
• Support for B Corp verification and certification phase
• Disseminating results through Reporting and Stakeholder Engagement channels to improve commitment and B Corp approach in the company strategy.

Until now Focus Lab has supported 12 companies (mainly SMEs and a couple of Large companies) operating in various industrial sectors), in implementing BIA activities and planning tailor-made sustainability actions using a mix of Sustainability Management tools.

“The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are simply the World’s greatest Business Plan”, Paul Polman, former CEO of Unilever and The B Team member.

We agree on this global and local challenge and that’s why we started since late 2015, among the first ones in Italy, to promote SDGs actions with a multi-stakeholder approach to our clients, Companies, Local Governments and Ngos.
We designed and implemented 45 SDGs tailor-made projects-initiatives with a range of activities: co-design workshops, reviews, research, training, debates, campaigns, networking, reporting.
We received a SDG Award by a business network for pioneering SDGs actions. Potential activities we propose to companies:
• Introduction to SDGs and the Business Case, through scenario workshops with Board, Department Managers, Employees Ambassadors, on opportunities and impacts
• SDGs Base line Review through SDG Action Manager
• Qualitative and quantitative impacts assessment and Benchmarking
• SDGs and targets priorities Action Plan development, linked to Business Strategy
• SDGs action integration with KPIs and GRI Reporting
• Internal and external Stakeholder Engagement on SDGs projects
• Multi-level Communications on SDGs and B Corp impacts.
