Building a Stronger B Corp Community

The Charlotte B Corp Collective brings people together through quarterly events that educate, connect, and activate our purpose-driven community. We host lunches, tours, networking gatherings, webinars, and speciality programs that highlight local food systems, circularity, climate action, the new B Corp standards, and the broader work of building a just and sustainable economy.

Each event is designed to advance at least one core purpose, including educating businesses on the updated B Corp standards, supporting B Lab USCA’s impact pillars (racial equity, climate justice, policy), strengthening collaboration with other B Locals, and elevating the visibility and value of the B Corp movement. Our goal is simple: create meaningful opportunities for businesses to learn from one another and deepen their impact for people and the planet.
