On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Nathan Stuck, an award-winning leader in the B Corp community and the Founder & CEO of Profitable Purpose Consulting, a culture and impact consultancy that helps companies certify as B Corporations. He also founded and chairs B Local Georgia, a non-profit dedicated to growing the number of purpose-driven businesses in the Peach State. Nathan teaches an experiential MBA course on B Corps at the University of Georgia and serves on the board of B Academics, a non-profit committed to research and experiential B Corp learning opportunities around the world. As of March 2023, the latest available data indicates that there are over 6,435 B Corporations in over 159 industries and 88 countries worldwide. The number of certified B Corps are steadily increasing with the largest growing number in the US. 48% of all B Corps are publicly traded companies and B Corp employs half a million workers worldwide.On this episode the pair discuss: Why Nathan decided to focus his attention on B Corps, what does B Corp mean, why does B Corp movement matter, and what does it take to become a B Corp?KEY TAKEAWAYS I always knew I wanted to work in business since high school, later I got an international business degree. By 2012 my career was going pretty well but I went through two lay-offs in six months in 2013. Then I tried to figure out what I was going to do next in my early 30s. I was working gig jobs while waiting to start an MBa and saw a lot of other people doing the same while trying to raise families and there was no hope. It was eye-opening to see what capitalism had become. I discovered B Corp in the second year of my MBa and the sky opened, and the angels started singing, and I realised I'd found my business community of people who believed in using business as a force for good in society. I'd invested so much in myself: late nights, early mornings, things that I didn't get paid for, but I paid in time, equity, tears, sweat. I was finally starting to see the reward and I decided it would make a good book. It had to sound like me, I make fun of myself and talk about the stupid things I've done in my life, jobs that I took, times when I failed miserably, stretching outside of my comfort zone not well. I didn't want it to be like every other business book where “I'm the most successful human being ever born”, this is more: “I'm just like you, I've had a bunch of jobs that I didn't like and here's how to hopefully come out of all of that prepared for opportunities.” B Corps are for-profit businesses with a certification that is a lot like LEAN for a building – an outside non-profit comes in and looks at the business holistically: How transparent you are, your corporate governance, your workers, what kinds of benefits you offer, your pay multiplier from top to bottom paid employee, what leave you offer for parents and caregivers, your community impact, your environmental footprint, and your policies for your customers. It scores you out of 80 and validates that. As soon as Gen Z and Millennials found their voices they got together to say business as usual isn't working for everybody.  They're fed up with why things aren't more equitable, why we've allowed the status quo to continue when the status quo doesn't work, and how do we leverage the business community to solve some of  society's biggest problems?  BEST MOMENTS‘It isn't necessarily capitalism that's evil, it's what we've let it become. There's a whole community of business leaders, owners, and changemakers that are trying to change the world through business.'‘It's fun to see where you've come from, and what you've faced, and how you overcame it. A lot of times it's those moments that unlock the opportunity to find happiness and your purpose in life.'‘Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job.'‘I like Mondays so much that I start working on Sunday.'

You may be familiar with C corporations, S corporations, or even Benefit Corporations. But what's a B Corp? In this episode, we learn that B Corp is short for Certified B Corporation - a label only bestowed to for-profit companies that go through an independent certification process led by the nonprofit B Lab. B Corps represent “the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose”. Nathan Stuck, Director of Culture & Strategic Impact at Ad Victoriam Solutions explains the ins and outs of becoming a B Corp from the rigorous process to the community of likeminded organizations. Nathan was first introduced to the world of B Corps when overseeing his company's certification. His passion resulted in the founding of B Local Georgia and partnership with the University of Georgia to educate students on B Corps. Discover how B Corps build successful businesses while focusing on all stakeholders, not just shareholders. The Understory Podcast discusses innovation, insights, and the future of sustainability.
