Measure Meant

Join us for our next B Learning Event "How to Measure Emissions & Create a Climate Action Plan" on May 16th. In this session, we will go through a day in the life of a company’s climate strategy, starting with planning and ending with implementation. Along the way, we'll discuss taking climate action that is rooted in justice. Audience members will leave with a plan for starting or enhancing their climate strategy while ensuring alignment with global standards - including the evolving B Corp standards. This B Learning event will be hybrid, so you can join us in person or virtually! If you can make it to Metropolitan Group for the in-person event, we'll have drinks and snacks afterward so folks can connect and process what they've learned. Buy tickets: https://lnkd.in/ekUqjD24

We are encouraged that companies like REI are requiring their vendors to calculate their greenhouse gas emissions, set reduction targets, and create a climate plan. We also know that this is overwhelming for many companies, particularly smaller companies, who have not yet started this work. While I think REI did a great thing in putting on informational webinars, they are proving to not be enough support. If your company is preparing to meet the climate requirements of your customers, please hear it from us that this work does not have to be overwhelming. While of course we promote striving for increasingly better data, you can get started by estimating your emissions. Your company can get actionable insights without spending tens of thousands of dollars.

So happy to find TCHO Chocolate on my recent flight on Alaska Airlines! TCHO is one of my favorite B Corps, my favorite chocolate, and one of our clients. Alaska is my favorite airline because they understand customer service and do things the right way.
