Why did Legacy go for B Corp certification?
Our mission is to make events sustainable and we wanted an independent view to show that our methods were best practice in sustainability. It was onerous process and a lot more difficult than we initially thought it would be. What are the advantages of being B Corp?
It has made us aware that we need to be transparent and we are conscious that we need to be seen to behave in a way that fits a value of B corp. It makes decisions easier like purchasing more ethical products/services. With staffing decisions we want to be more mindful of our budget and not fly staff out across the world without a reason.How does Legacy maintain its B Corp status?
We are assessed every 3 years so next one is in 2023 to maintain the accreditation. It is more about updating the documentation now that we have achieved B Corp status.
