Working together with thought and action leaders, SLX will explore what sustainable business means in practice. Come and experience real-life success stories. Discover how you can help your organization make meaningful choices.

Have you heard of the B-Corp, for-benefit corporations?
There are over two hundred companies in the US and Canada that have voluntarily revised their bylaws to include social and ecological benefits in their definition of the shareholder value they are obliged to deliver.
That’s revolutionary, and it looks like the future of business and sustainability. As an agent of sustainable change within your organization, maybe it’s time for you to find out more about this new approach.
Find out why B Corps matter, what they offer and how to become one.
Discover how businesses, investors, policymakers, and other organizations are using B Corp standards.
Learn about the leaders in social and environmental excellence who have joined the B Corp Community.
