We are deeply shocked and saddened by this week’s tragic events and stand in solidarity with the victims and all those affected by the devastating earthquake in Türkiye and Syria.

We have reached out to our community of B Corps in the region, who have shared some valuable resources below to help with relief efforts from around the world.

There are many ways B Corps and businesses worldwide can support, including checking in with colleagues, suppliers, and partners in the region, donating to trustworthy organizations on the ground and matching employee donations, and offering your products and services to provide relief and support.

Thank you to the B Corps in Türkiye, including Atoyle, S360 Sustainability Services, Orimpex Textiles, Fazla, Mikado Consulting, Semtrio 2021 and Reflect Studios for the ongoing work they are doing on the ground and the information they have shared to connect our community with support efforts.
