As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to challenge our economy, health and daily (work) lives, we’re reminded that our work towards an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economic system for all has never been more important.

But what exactly can companies do to build back better in preparation for the time during and after the COVID-19 crisis?

Being a certified B Corp ourselves, we’ve become part of a global community of companies worldwide, who are using their business as a force for good.

So it was only natural for us to reach out and join our good business forces with B Corp Denmark and B Corp Europe to put together an infographic with 7 principles for resilient and responsible business, based on key learnings and best practices from the B Corp movement. They are available in both English and Danish:
