What to expect?

If we are to achieve our vision of an inclusive, equitable and regenerative economy, we will need big business to change. But what is the best way to affect it? And can it really happen from within? In this provocative session we’ll dive into the complexity and hear from speakers on all sides of the issue to explore:

  • What’s the right balance of culture and legislation to create the change we want to see?
  • How does stakeholder governance work at scale? What have its proponents learned about influencing boards?
  • What’s the role of  B Corp Certification in driving improvement in larger businesses?
  • Big learnings from small companies: can subsidiaries influence their parent companies?

Why join this session?

This session is perfect for anyone hoping to work within or without to influence larger business change (e.g. sustainability managers and leads) Founders & CEOs considering acquisition as a route to growth.

What are the key outcomes?

  • New strategies for influencing boards & decision makers at larger businesses
  • Greater advocacy for the role of different kinds of businesses in the B Corp movement
  • Practical exploration of the ways to influence change at bigger businesses from within and without
