Note from the editor
B The Change exists to gather the voices of people using business as a force for good to inform and inspire a global shift in business. We believe that storytelling is an essential element in the transformation of business and society, so we commit ourselves to sharing compelling stories and practical applications to an engaged and passionate audience to propel a stakeholder-driven economy. We will amplify the voices of entrepreneurs, managers, employees, investors, and others to inform one of the most important discussions of our time. B The Change is a collaboration of B Lab, the B Corp community, and the movement of people using business as a force for good.
