What are the new B Corps standards, and what impact will they have on the future of responsible business?
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.

"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."
