In October 2022, B Lab Europe established a Market Development team, responsible for developing and deploying B Lab Europe’s meaningful growth strategy. As part of this strategy, B Lab Europe is exploring new and innovative types of partnerships that will catalyze and inclusively scale the movement across the continent.

Since the first B Corp certified in Portugal in 2015, the movement has grown to a vibrant and diverse community of 28 companies committed to using business as a force for good. Together representing more than 10 industries and employing almost 3,000 people, the B Corp community in Portugal is leading the way in showing that a different kind of economy is not only possible but necessary. Celebrating the achievements of the last 8 years, the movement is poised for its next stage of scale and impact across the country.

It is at this pivotal moment that B Lab Europe is excited to launch a request for proposals to select a local partner that can build on the community’s achievements to date and spearhead the B Corp movement in Portugal.

• Organizations committed to the mission and values of the B Corp movement
• Recognition, credibility, and an extensive network in the Portuguese impact space
• Experienced in community building/mobilization & stakeholder engagement
• Strong influencers and communicators
• Entrepreneurial, with the ability to leverage a multidisciplinary team and/or network
