Testimonials
Nathalie Ballan
Founding Partner & CEO at Sair da Casca
Becoming a B Corp took us to reflect on all aspects of our business and identify improvement priorities to always maximize our positive impact. We've moved from a declarative position to building evidence - a much more demanding process than a set of intentions. It was the principle of ‘walk the talk’.
Rita Marques
Founder & CEO at ImpacTrip
The B Corp certification for us is a solid form of credibility for our non-profit partners and employees. It is the validation and expression of our impact mission and the sense of belonging to a like-minded community.
B Corp Movement Team in Portugal
