What is a
B Local Community?

B Locals are place-based communities of People Using Business as a Force for Good®. At the core of every B Local are Certified B CorporationsTM – for-profit companies that use the power of business to create a shared and durable prosperity for all. Led by passionate volunteers, B Locals exist to create connections, increase the positive impact of their B CorpTM community.

What Do We Do?

B Local WI carries out the following, interdependent purposes:

  1. Engage and connect local B Corp employees to:
    1. Strengthen community (i.e. partnerships with other nonprofits) among people in the region
    2. Support the success of B Corp businesses (in our region / WI)
    3. Improve impact among B Corps and inspire collective action through educational programs and networking
  2. Raise awareness about the B Corp Movement locally, including growing the number of Certified B Corps in the community

B Local communities accomplish the above through events, communications, and partnerships and maintain a focus on justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion across all of their activities.

Help co-create a more just and equitable society.

“We appreciate the continuous improvement ethos that is baked into the Certified B Corporation movement and standards. As a small business who operates in a triple bottom line manner, meaning we run all of our business decisions through the lens of impacts on people, planet and profit (i.e. long term economic viability), we find great value in using the B Corp standards as a road map so that our team has practical actions they can take in order to help co-create a more just and equitable society. ”
