“Business as a force for good”

REGISTER

The idea that your place of work, regardless of the type of organization, can be a force for good has become even more relevant and prevalent over the last decade. Many organizations, as agents of change, mission-driven or purveyors of positive values, are taking steps to be more responsible to their employees, communities and the planet in a quest to thrive and be successful – all while improving the course of our world.

Join the Leadership Champlain Alumni Committee for our next “Media Club” on Friday, Nov. 19 at noon to discuss “Business as a force for good” and some of the “good” things your organization is doing. 

For some perspective on this important topic, here are a few articles from Vermont and beyond:

– VTDigger: Amid recruiting woes, one Vermont manufacturer is having no problems

– ThinkVermont: Vermont certified B Corps: Using business as a force for good

– The Patagonia story: Bringing trends to life – YouTube
