Visionaries, episode 14: Building Sustainable Business Models Through The B Corp Movement with Chris Marquis PhD

Have you heard of the term B Corporations before?

According to bcorporation.net, certified B Corporations are leaders in the global movement for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy.

B Corp Certification is a designation that a business is meeting high standards of verified performance, accountability, and transparency on factors from employee benefits and charitable giving to supply chain practices and input materials.

To dig more into this topic with an expert on the field, today on the show, we welcome visionary Chris Marquis.

Chris is a professor at Cambridge Judge Business School. He previously worked at Cornell University Johnson College of Business and Harvard Business School. Marquis worked for six years in the financial services industry, most recently as vice president and technology manager for a business unit of J.P. Morgan Chase.

"Consumers are the key people to hold companies accountable for sustainability" - Chris Marquis.

Throughout this enlightening conversation, you will hear Neri and Chris discuss not only what it takes to become a B Corp but also the close relationship with the ESG framework, the effects of the war in Ukraine on sustainability, the different policies when it comes to sustainability around the world, and more.
