We travel better together!  Pioneering B Corps within responsible travel were in focus as the Norwegian B Corps community met to discuss why B Corp certification is the road forward for the travel and hospitality sector 🧳 . The impact of leisure and business travel is growing and the need to role model and promote responsible travel is urgent. But travel platforms like Goodwings, tour operators like 50 Degrees North Group and travel gear like Dbjourney are seeking alternative ways. And in the Nordic B Corp movement we all know that we travel better - and farther - when we go together! 🙏 A special thanks to Christian Møller-Holst from Goodwings, Maria Peltokangas from Corporate Good AS | Certified B Corp and Gitte Rosholm from B Lab Nordics for sharing their insights.

Meet the B Corps of the Nordics! Across the Nordics, more than 150 businesses have committed to using business as a force for good. They’re spread across Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland and Finland, in different industries, cities, and sizes—but they share one thing: Their business is rooted in action, commitment and a strong belief in doing better. Over the next weeks, we’re introducing you to some of them—companies that don’t just talk about change, they make it happen. Next up: Sorensen Leather | B Corp With over 50 years of expertise, Sørensen Leather is a global brand known for its high-quality, eco-conscious leather. But their commitment goes beyond premium materials—they are redefining the industry by setting new standards for responsibility and integrity. What does that look like? 🌍 Exceeding industry norms with certifications, Lifecycle Assessments (LCA), and responsible production. 🔎 A strong focus on transparency, supplier partnerships, and sustainable innovation. ✅ B Corp certification as a validation of the values they’ve upheld for decades—integrity, responsibility, and accountability. “Becoming a B Corp is not about changing who we are—it’s about proving that responsibility is at the core of our business and reinforcing the trust we’ve built with our partners and customers.” – Louise Vesterskov Sørensen, CEO & Partner from Sorensen Leather | B Corp This is what leading for good looks like. 🔎 Discover Sørensen Leather and other Nordic B Corps in the B Corp directory: https://lnkd.in/d-RJ4cRP #BCorpMonth #GenerationB #GenB #BCorpsoftheNordics

“We need the courage to talk about the difference we are making—and be honest about the challenges we still need to solve. That’s how we inspire real change”. “The business case for ESG is still strong because climate and biodiversity crises don't listen to politicians or disappear just because the facts are disregarded”. These were some of the reflections shared as Nordic B Corp CEOs gathered in Copenhagen last night to discuss how to navigate the balance between greenhushing and greenwashing and lead with courage. The need for collective action and collaboration to tackle the environmental, climate, and social crises has never been more urgent. That’s why we at B Lab Nordics believe in creating spaces for leaders to come together. B Corps are proving that business can be a force for good, and we need to keep raising the bar—together. Special thanks to Fredrik R. Nilsson , Patricia Winkel-Pedersen, Marcus Uhrskov, and LAKRIDS BY BÜLOW for hosting and sharing their insights. Also, a big thanks to guest speaker Morten Lehmann from Tailwind for an inspiring session on leadership communication.

Meet the B Corps of the Nordics! Across the Nordics, more than 150 businesses have committed to using business as a force for good. They’re spread across Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland and Finland, in different industries, cities, and sizes—but they share one thing: Their business is rooted in action, commitment and a strong belief in doing better. Over the next few weeks, we’ll introduce you to some of them. Companies that don’t just talk about change—they make it happen. From sustainable footwear to ethical finance, from circular fashion to responsible food production, B Corps are showing what’s possible when business is built differently. We meet these companies at our events, in conversations, and through their work—and we want more people to know them, get inspired by them, and see what’s possible when impact is at the core of business. First up: Icebug AB Ever tried running on ice, snow, or wet forest roots? That’s what Icebug is all about—creating footwear that helps people move safely and freely, no matter the conditions. But Icebug isn’t just about great shoes. They’re about transparency, sustainability, and making the outdoor industry better. "Our vision is to be a changemaker for a society where people can thrive on a planet in balance. We aim to inspire more sustainable lifestyles, help preserve old forests, and encourage people to get outdoors year-round." - David Ekelund, Co-CEO of Icebug AB Being a B Corp means walking the talk. ⚫ Icebug shoes have a QR code showing where it was made and its climate impact. ⚫ They launched the world’s first FSC®-certified shoe collection, reducing reliance on fossil materials. ⚫ And they believe business should support people too—so every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, they close the office at 11 and head into nature. This is what leading for good looks like. And there’s more to come. 🔎 Discover Icebug and other Nordic B Corps in the B Corp directory: https://lnkd.in/dmT3h7Ze #BCorpMonth #GenerationB #GenB #BCorpsoftheNordics

The global gender gap has only closed by 68.5%, and at this rate, it’ll take 134 more years to achieve full equality. We can’t wait that long. That’s why B Lab Europe is making B Corp Certification more inclusive. 🚀 🎉 Starting in 2025, entrepreneurs from underrepresented groups can access a 40% discount on annual certification fees, including women-owned businesses with annual revenue below €5M.—because everyone deserves a fair shot. 🔗 Learn more about the initiative: https://lnkd.in/gjrGp8RC
