Call for Companies Interested in Evaluating their Impact through B Corp Assessment

EADA is looking for companies that want to receive a first evaluation of their positive impact on their employees, the communities they serve and the environment using the B Corp methodology and its B Impact Assessment Tool.
During the month of July, several supervised teams of student-consultants called B Impact Teams, will work intensively and pro bono together with companies interested in their first B Impact Assessment while gaining knowledge and experience in evaluating the impact of real companies.
Our goal is to contribute to a movement of more responsible companies while training responsible leaders. We seek to bring companies closer to a practical, transparent and rigorous tool so that they can move towards more conscious and responsible management and, if they wish, continue independently to follow the steps to B Corp certification.
