Active in 85 countries and 158 industries, the B Corp movement was launched in 2006 by B Lab to promote values of change in the corporate world on an international scale. There are currently 5,800 B Corps worldwide.
IMS - Inspiring More Sustainability becomes the single point of contact for certified and aspiring B Corp companies in the Grand Duchy. Nancy Thomas, Director of IMS, says: "This notion of movement linked to B Corp is fundamental to us; it is a principle of continuous improvement. It's a real plus to be able to bring this model and to be able to try to strengthen it at the Luxembourg level to provide transformation solutions."
Closely linked with B Lab™ BeNeLux and B Lab Europe, IMS brings together members of the B Corp community active in the territory and helps organizations that wish to join the movement to make their company a force for the common good.
Tessa van Soest, Executive Director of B Lab Benelux, adds: "We are very happy to collaborate with a valuable partner like IMS. Luxembourg already has a thriving impact business community. With this collaboration, we can now take this to the next level in helping companies to become a force for good by using our B Corp certification, programs and tools."
