When we talk about businesses that do ‘good’, we usually think about their external impact on people and the environment. But we believe that a company’s internal impact—how it treats its workers—is just as important. That’s why worker well-being is a core pillar of #BCorpCertification . From fair wages and comprehensive benefits to creating inclusive, supportive workplaces, #BCorps are building more engaged, healthy, and motivated workforces. They understand that the future of work depends on fostering environments where employees can thrive—because a company’s success is rooted in the well-being of its people. 💬 What’s an initiative your company has that makes you feel supported at work? We’d love to hear about the efforts that make a difference! #Sustainability #WorkerWellbeing

Balancing profit with purpose and sustainability? Now that's very mindful, very demure… 😉💚🌿 Younger generations are making their expectations clear: they demand accountability, transparency, and action from the brands they support. It's no wonder that awareness of #BCorps is on the rise among younger consumers. And with #GenZ representing 30% of the global population, it’s essential for businesses to engage meaningfully with this audience. Every Man Jack gets it—real engagement occurs where culture thrives, and for this generation, that’s on social media. By embracing trends, they connect with younger consumers while effectively communicating their values. And the #BCorp brand is central to their strategy, empowering them to communicate their mission with clarity and purpose “B Corp is all-encompassing. There are so many things we want to talk about: our supply chain, sustainability, how we treat our employees. It lends credibility to all these different things that are very hard to communicate individually.” - Ellie Off , VP of Marketing at Every Man Jack.

What's your take on ChatGPT’s perspective? How can we ensure AI companies focus on the greater good? 📰 Check out Andrew’s full op-ed here and share your thoughts in the comments: https://nyti.ms/3Yn22yz #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #AIEthics #StakeholderGovernance
