Becoming a B Corp: What it takes and why it matters

What does it actually mean to become a B Corp, and is it worth the effort? In this episode, UNLESS Financial chief sustainability officer and financial adviser Marissa Theodorou talks us through the journey she and the UNLESS team went through recently to become B Corp certified.

Breaking down the business case, timeline, key pillars, and common pitfalls of the process, Theodorou explains why the certification is more than just a badge and highlights the tangible benefits that come with it.

She also touches on how the certification process has been strengthened in recent times to ensure businesses are truly balancing profit with positive impact.

We record on Gadigal land and we pay our respects to the traditional custodians of country and elders past and present.
