In this episode of the Frankly Speaking podcast, Richard Howitt was joined by Bernard Gouw, Senior Social Standards Manager at B Lab Global, and founder of the natural skincare brand Beauty Kitchen, Jo Chidley.
Together they explained how the new B Corps standards differ from the previous ones, and where B Lab sits within the broader certification landscape. You’ll also hear more about:
"We're coming together under this badge of collective action and for me that's what really drives the change that will happen within the B Corp movement. You're not an individual bystander; you're rolling up your sleeves. You're coming together to really admit the areas that you need to tackle within your particular industry and creating that blueprint so that nobody is doing it on their own. You're doing it together."
