B Local group launched in Gloucestershire

Gloucestershire

Gloucestershire has launched a new 'B Local' initiative to support and showcase the expanding network of B Corps in the region.

Superseding the Gloucestershire Responsible Business Initiative, Gloucestershire B Local’s aim is to create connections within the community around social and environmental responsibility within business, maximise the positive impact of the local B Corp community and raise awareness of the B Corp Movement.
The Glos B Local group, one of fourteen in the UK, is being co-chaired by Camilla Barnes who is a B Leader and runs Better Business, Better World; Katharina Child from Invivio Healthcare, Charlie Hayward from Optimising IT and Victoria Petkovic-Short from recently accredited Beechurst Serviced Apartments.
Camilla Barnes said: “Our mission remains the same and we’re still a network run by business for business, sharing social and environmental best practice in Gloucestershire. Being a BLocal enables us to do more through connecting like-minded businesses, creating impact at a local level, and promoting being a force for good to benefit people, communities and the planet.

“Currently, we’re a group of almost 40 Gloucestershire B Corps and we’ll use the B Corp framework to support progressive organisations also striving for the same purpose, while encouraging those with growth plans which consider people and the environment, to join us. We’re extremely excited about the prospect and wholly focused on building a brilliant local community of B Corp gamechangers and engaging with the wider Gloucestershire business sector to become more socially and environmentally responsible.”

Plans include an official party to celebrate the launch of the new group, as well as a series of educational and best practice events and regular networking throughout the year to help businesses to “do better” with social and environmental responsibility.
