Project Examples
Requirements
Student consultants from this program will be able to help your organization with general business sustainability practices and conduct various types of sustainability assessments, including using the B Impact Assessment tool to assess levels of environmental, social, and economic sustainability. Students will use the B-Impact Assessment tool to create a strategic plan to assist the organization in achieving B Corp certification. Once the assessments are completed, students analyze collected information to determine a broad range of possible recommendations for improved sustainability performance, particularly those that would improve the chances of receiving certification. Final recommendations should address the business owner/manager's current business-related needs as well as encourage progress to the next step of sustainability
Recommendations are presented within the following categories :
- No cost/low cost, easy immediate implementation
- Moderate cost, mid-term implementation.
