In early December the B Local Colorado community was able to come together and have a celebration of the new Benefit Corporations of Colorado in 2022. We were hosted by GroundFloor Media, their second time hosting our wonderful crew since being a B Corp in 2016. Some companies in the audience included Two Octobers, GadellNet, Sustainable Advisors Alliance, Denver Botanic Gardens, Pivot Energy, Vermilion, B Lab US & Canada, Vincente Sederberg, Factors Design Build, Trebuchet Group, and more.
Our class of 2022 that presented included quite the crew. ResultsLab, a female led consulting agency shared how they appreciated going through the assessment and the clarity it brought to them as a company. Similarly HoneyComb Strategies, a sustainable events coordinator, went from 2 founding female employees to five in one year, and first knew they needed policies in place and the B Assessment helped clarify that process. Icelantic Skis, a small ski company that is growing quickly, is joining us from Golden, CO. They are proud after years of sustainable practices to have pushed themselves to be even better with the assessment. Just down the road, Spinster Sisters, a natural cosmetics company- we hope to have a B Corp crawl to visit both in the future! Solaris Energy, a solar related company that helps with financing was able to join and share their journey, that was especially helped by existing B Corps like Namaste Solar. Finally we heard from Free Range Beehives, a company that puts B Hives on the roofs of companies and commercial businesses. With clients like Gates Family and Google you are bound to hear more from them and welcome you reaching out for a tour of a B Hive.
