The challenges of sustainable development today are unequivocal. The need for ethical, social and environmental transformation is setting the pace for the economy at an increasing rate. In this context, each company can and must contribute by transforming its practices. However, instigating and implementing change with internal and external stakeholders can be tricky, and the tools and knowledge are not necessarily known. And before changing, it is essential to know what to change. For this, B Lab sets a course with ambitious actions and standards.
B Lab creates and defines global standards, policies, tools and programmes for businesses. B Lab certifies companies called B Corp, which comply with these standards. The network of these companies and the unified vision of an inclusive, equitable and regenerative economy for the benefit of all stakeholders is known as the B Corp movement.
The B Corp movement is booming internationally and is no exception in Luxembourg. Since October 2022, IMS Luxembourg has been the single point of contact for certified B Corp companies and companies interested in the movement in the Grand Duchy. Our objectives are threefold:
- Inform and communicate about the movement in general to companies and other interested parties.
- To bring together, in close collaboration with B Lab Benelux and B Lab Europe, the active members of the B Corp community in the territory to help them create synergies and improve their impact in a collaborative spirit.
- To assist organisations wishing to enter a certification process by providing contacts and information.
