Friends. I'm excited to announce my business is now a Certified B Corp.

B Corporations follow ethical practices to do business by putting the planet and people before profit. They’re about providing a better way to help conscious consumers and businesses to make purchasing decisions that align with their values – which is precisely what I’m about too. Using business as a force for good.

Something we all use, in business or just in our personal lives. MONEY. And what a powerful statement it can make, with what we choose to do with whatever amount we have.

How we generally use money can be broken into five main areas - income, spending, banking, super and giving. Let’s dive into how we can make an impact with money.

This year I applied to become a Certified B Corp. Why? Because to me, running a business is about more than making money. I believe it's an opportunity to make a positive impact on other businesses, communities, people and the environment.

Broadly speaking, the way I achieve this is by working with clients who are doing good for people and the planet. However I can also create impact through how I run my business, using my for-profit model for good.

This report sets out the four main ways I worked to create impact in 2020-21.

Last year I wrote an article for the good folks at Compass Studio on 6 ways you can do good as a creative.

No longer is a successful creative business just about the bottom line, it now takes a more holistic approach. If you’re wondering how to specifically give back or find a higher purpose in the work that you do as a creative or small business, these tips are for you!

I chatted to Armadillo about my career path, the challenges of becoming a B Corporation and why it’s better to buy once but buy well.
