Sandrine Dixson-Declève: The Future of Business as a Force for Good 👇 "Businesses should serve people, planet, and prosperity," says Sandrine Dixson-Declève, co-president of The Club of Rome. To create true global systems change, companies must move beyond traditional profit-driven approaches and embrace stakeholder-driven models that prioritize these three pillars. This idea was central to her speech at the Belgium Beyond Summit '24 in Brussels, where 130+ impact leaders from across the country came together. The B Corp movement exemplifies this vision. "It's not just a small movement," she emphasizes, "but rather B Corps becoming the business model". By leading the way, B Corps are setting the bar for how companies can contribute to meaningful, lasting change. Let’s reimagine business together—are you joining the movement? 💪 #bcorp #sustainability #impact #beyondsummit24 #systemschange

🔦 Spotlighting the B Keeper of the Month #5 The B Keeper is the main contact person between a B Corp and B Lab. This month's B Keeper is Mellany Klompe-Vonk from Klompe Landbouw (B Corp) How Impact is Made: "50% of the world’s habitable land is used for agriculture. If we transform the way we farm, we can positively impact climate change and stability on biodiversity, and food health and supply, on a massive scale. Regenerative farming turns agriculture into a global solution, for farmers, people and our planet." Challenge Ahead: "We would like to grow a bigger variety of crops on our farm. The problem is finding a market for this to sell for a fair price to make it economically viable." Calling on Others: "It would be great if more farms follow us because that would mean that the transition towards regenerative farming is growing and that in the end is our goal. We want to empower farmers to start the transition towards regenerative farming." 👉 Find more information on Klompe here: https://lnkd.in/eU_HmWcc Thank you Mellany, for your dedication and inspiring work! Stay tuned for monthly B Keeper stories celebrating impactful leaders. #BKeeperOfTheMonth #BCorp #Impact #Sustainability #Leadership
