During this Summit on Earth Day, business leaders convene to address key pillars and trends on how businesses are creating purpose-driven companies and leveraging ESG (Environmental, Social, & Governance) metrics to drive business success. Attendees will gain insights from certified B-Corp CEOs and thought leaders to discuss ways to unlock ESG opportunities that align people, profit, and purpose with the greater goal of building a better future for all. Includes buffet lunch and networking. (Buffet lunch will be provided)

The concepts of ESG Metrics and B-Corp certification can be applied to businesses of all sizes, including solopreneurs. Many solopreneurs may feel that these concepts are only relevant to larger companies or those in certain industries, but that is not the case. By attending this event, solopreneurs can learn how to implement ESG practices and become certified B-Corps in a way that is relevant and feasible for their business.
