4th Warsaw B Corp Summit

Say hello to the raised bar, say hello to raising standards, CSRD, ESG regulations. Why we do it? Why it is so much needed to keep going in this ambitious direction? What are the new B Impact Assessment standards we will see in near future? How do B Corp. standards respond to taxonomy and all new regulations? How do we place the role of Impact Business Model in our approach? Why setting the North Star high is so important and how great, sometimes utopian, narrations change the world? These and much more questions will be raised during our Summit and we will do our bests to look for answers bringing hope and direction.

The world needs partnerships of business and activists, needs more involvement in solving civilisational challenges. We gather again to share best practices, inspire, and get inspired, step into partnerships in the true spirit of INTERDEPENDENCE.
