Mangrove Web, a Certified B Corp

May 1, 2025, marks an important milestone for accessibility in Manitoba. By this date, all private and nonprofit organizations and small municipalities must comply with the Accessible Information and Communication Standard Regulation, ensuring digital, in-print, and technology-based information is accessible to everyone. Enacted under The Accessibility for Manitobans Act, this standard focuses on removing and preventing barriers, so people can interact with websites, access information, and communicate without limitations. Now's the time to review your website and digital materials! Connect with us if you have questions. You can also read more about the requirements for organizations under the Accessibility for Manitobans Act in the article linked below. https://lnkd.in/eSjeEuN3 #AccessibilityInclusion #ManitobaLaw #DigitalAccessibility

I just spoke at a Girls Who Code event last night in Oakland, CA and got to meet a group of college freshmen who are brilliant, curious and inspired. For me, this was the best way to celebrate #InternationalWomensMonth by mentoring an incredibly diverse and engaged group of young women. These women represent a future in which technologies are inclusively and thoughtfully designed and engineered. 💓

Meaningful conversations matter now more than ever. Big conversations. Ones that push boundaries and get us thinking about change. But, more grounded conversations are important too—they remind us to stay present and hopeful. Whether discussing business, social advocacy, ethical technology, or sustainability, women are having these conversations. And they’re inviting us all to listen and take part. To round out your playlist this month, here are a few podcast gems hosted by some inspiring and insightful women: Women in Tech Podcast (hosted by Espree Devora 🎙️) - Conversations with women in tech from engineers to investors to journalists, sharing the story of how they got to where they are today. The Circular Economy Show (with Pippa Shawley)- Insights about the circular economy and interviews with people who are working hard to implement it.

Prospect Sierra School 's mission is to inspire and equip students to create a more inclusive and just world through deep intellectual engagement, self-knowledge, and care for others, proving that the impact of a school extends beyond the classroom. To share their progress transparently with their community, donors, and prospective students, Prospect Sierra wanted a more dynamic way to present their progress and talk about their impact. After building their full site in 2022, we created a custom impact report template that allows them to update and expand their report each year. Previously embedded on Issuu, their report is now seamlessly integrated into their site. We enhanced the experience with custom-built blocks and unique visual elements to creatively represent their community and donors. This new platform allows them to share their story, engage their community, and build trust through transparency.

When times feel unpredictable, as every day does right now, we lean into our community and focus on our values. We can’t control everything, far from it. But we can control how we show up, what we put into the world, and who works alongside us. Knowing that businesses like ours, and yours, are committed to impact and accountability makes progress feel possible and uncertainty feel just a touch lighter. We are also fueled by our connections and partnerships in the B Corp Community. In the face of today’s economic and political challenges, that shared commitment can help us turn our unsteadiness and uncertainty into shared momentum, collaborative solutions, and even mutual joy.  #BCorpMonth #BCorpCommunity #GenB

It’s simple. Women in leadership can help make the field of technology more thoughtful, more human, and more impactful. As a woman-owned business, we’ve seen how leadership shapes outcomes. When women have the chance to lead, they can go beyond innovation, completely rethinking what’s possible. Whether it’s small shifts within a team or big-picture change, women find ways to make things work and work better. We love this energy. And we know the world needs more of it. Tomorrow is International Women’s Day. It's a good time to pause and explore the work of women who push past 'good enough’, asking how technology can serve people better and redefining the Tech for Good movement. We hope you'll take a moment to explore their stories. https://lnkd.in/gFR7vw3q #TechForGood #InternationalWomensDay #WomensHistoryMonth #WomenInTech

Happy #BCorpMonth to everyone using business as a force for good. We chose the B Corp path in 2016 to be part of something bigger: to be part of a global movement pushing for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy. We wanted to help build a better way of doing business. And we’re still here for it. As B Lab gets set to raise the bar with higher standards and accountability, we’re proud to meet those goals. What makes being a part of the B Corp movement so special for us? Connecting with values-aligned businesses, holding ourselves accountable to being a force for good, and finding deeper meaning in our work, to name just a few. If you’ve ever thought about becoming a B Corp, now’s a great time to explore. Message us if you’d like to learn more! #GenB #BCorp #BusinessForGood

Black creativity is more than expression, it’s a catalyst for change, challenging norms, reshaping industries, and driving sustainable innovation. A recent article from B Lab highlights some of the visionaries harnessing equity, community, and bold ideas to redefine what’s possible and prove that business can be a force for good.

Food connects us all. In the hands of people seeking to do good, it can be a powerful tool for equity, sustainability, and community impact. These Black-owned businesses (which also happen to be B Corps!) caught our eye because they are using food to fight waste, create jobs, and support farmers in a way that changes their industry for the better. Be One to Give : Founded by Tony Colley, B12Give turns surplus food into a lifeline for those in need. What began as one man rescuing leftover food on his daily commute has grown into a tech-driven system that helps Toronto businesses reduce waste while addressing food insecurity. Boon Boona Coffee : Led by Efrem Fesaha, Boon Boona Coffee brings the rich flavors of African coffee to a wider audience while forging direct partnerships with smallholder farmers—especially women growers—to ensure fair pay. Their cafés also serve as spaces for community, inclusion, and creative expression. From food security to fair wages to inclusive workplaces, these businesses remind us that every decision we make—including where we invest our time and resources—matters. Give them a follow and check out their work if you can! #BlackEntrepreneurs #PurposeDrivenBusiness #Changemakers
