World Conservation and the Events Sector

Happy World Conservation Day! Let's Talk Purpose-Driven Business.

Today, July 28th, is World Conservation Day, a crucial reminder that a healthy environment is the absolute foundation for a healthy society. With our global population rapidly growing, the responsible stewardship of vital natural resources like air, water, soil, and minerals is more critical than ever.

It fills us with pride to share that several of our much-loved clients are not just talking about sustainability – they're actively embodying it! Many are deeply focused on environmental responsibility, and some have even gone through the rigorous BCorp accreditation.

For those unfamiliar, a Certified B Corporation (B Corp) is a for-profit company that meets the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability. It's about balancing profit with a deep commitment to purpose. To achieve this certification, companies undergo a comprehensive B Impact Assessment (BIA), scrutinizing their practices across five key areas, including a significant focus on the Environment.

This means B Corps are evaluated on everything from their energy and water usage, waste management, and carbon footprint (including Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions) to the environmental impact of their supply chain and their commitment to sustainable materials and circular economy principles. They're legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on all stakeholders – employees, customers, suppliers, the community, and the planet – not just shareholders.

This kind of proactive commitment to environmental stewardship is precisely what World Conservation Day champions. It encourages businesses to lead by example, demonstrating that profitability and planetary well-being can, and must, go hand in hand.
