“It is one thing to build a sustainable B Corp when it is a small, founder-led company… It is another to do it at the scale of Danone, a multinational with almost 90,000 employees in more than 55 countries…”. In a new Financial Times case study, climate economist Gernot Wagner explores Danone’s pursuit of #BCorp Certification and what it reveals about the challenges (and necessity) of bringing big business into the movement for economic systems change. At B Lab, we believe that to transform our economy, we must transform businesses of all sizes, including multinationals. By certifying or using our tools to improve their practices, their impact ripples across supply chains, sectors, and geographies.

Very interesting case study. The bar for certification definitely gets trickier when it comes to multinationals, but that’s exactly why this matters. If we want real systems change, we need the giants to evolve too, not just the smaller founder-led companies.
This sounds like a very interesting read. Something I've been thinking about a lot lately!
