The B Leaders Program is a successful training and community program that has been organized several times in Geneva, London and the US and now also for the first time in Brussels. The B Leaders training, designed by B Lab, offers all the necessary knowledge and methodology to a professional to bring his or her organization up to the level of a B Corp certification.

This four half-day B Leaders training consists of different modules:

• Introduction to the B Corp movement
• Deep-dive into the B Impact Assessment (tool)
• Improve your impact
• B Corp and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
• Building the business case and engaging stakeholders

Additionally, there is a testimony with a guest speaker. Know that this program is entirely in English.
You can read a full program description below.

Prior knowledge about the B Impact Assessment tool is recommended. As a preparation it is advised to fill in the B Impact Assessment and, if possible, complete it. The B Impact Assessment is a tool which companies can use to measure their impact on employees, community, environment and customers. You can discover this free tool at www.bimpactassessment.net.

Learning objectives

B Leaders is first and foremost a learning outcome where participants can learn from the different perspectives which others bring to the table.

During this training you will acquire the necessary skills to identify the overall performance of your company, evaluate current performances, develop programs and implement actions to increase the positive social and environmental impact of your company.

Goals

This is done in an open learning environment where dialogue, discussion and feedback are encouraged and facilitated.

Target audience

The B Leaders training is designed for all professionals who are interested in working with the B Corp framework and the associated tools. The training is also designed for all organizations which have the ambition to become B certified and wish to internally train someone to supervise the process.

The group of participants potentially consists of:

• CSR professionals (CSR, HR, HSEQ, Audit, etc.)
• Internal B Corp champions
• Representatives of (multinational) companies interested in B Corp certification
• Representatives of companies interested in the B Corp framework and the B Corp community
• Other professionals who are interested in working with B Corp tools (for example for measuring sustainability performance)
• Representatives of current service driven companies of B Corp.
• Freelancers or independent professionals
• B Corp staff

The B Leaders Training is open to everyone (as stated above). Still, one of our key objectives is to ensure a good mix between different categories to guarantee maximum diversity and open interaction. As such, we have put a subscription limit on certain categories. This training focuses on the Belgian & Luxembourg market but everyone is welcome off course.
