Edinburgh B Corp 500 Update! 👋 Last Wednesday (2nd Oct) we held our first workshop with 10 fantastic local businesses. Also in attendance was our partner, Edinburgh Chambers of Commerce, who used the time to look at the Chambers through the B Impact Assessment lens. I (Jayne) had planned to capture some video highlights, but in the excitement, I completely forgot to press record. 🙈 So, we're sticking with the classic written update this time.... It was a day filled with insights. We got stuck into the B Impact Assessment as a group, had some really insightful, pragmatic and meaningful conversations, and enjoyed the Whisky Experience's excellent coffee and pastries. ☕ A huge thank you to the Whisky Experience team for providing us with a larger space. This allowed companies to bring more team members along - something we couldn't accommodate at first. Seeing teams tackle this journey together really highlighted how the B Corp process can inspire change across an entire organisation. We're so convinced of the benefits that we want to make this a standard feature of our workshops moving forward. More space, more minds, more potential for positive impact across Edinburgh. 💡 We have 1 more workshop together as a cohort in November before we move into the individual consultation phase. Together, we're working to make Edinburgh a hub for businesses that prioritise both profit and purpose. One workshop (and many coffees) at a time!

I was so sad not to have been able to make the cohort due to illness, but delighted that Anna Gilfillan was there to fly the flag on behalf of LS Productions 💚
Sorry to miss you Laura Coulthart see you at the next one?
