🥁 Drumroll, please! We’re excited to announce our Wednesday mainstage speakers at Louder Than Words — the B Corp Festival. 1️⃣Start your morning with Patrick Grant, founder of campaigning clothes brand Community Clothing and an outspoken advocate for radical change in the fashion industry. Patrick will be discussing how we can change behaviour to change systems. 2️⃣ Hear from changemakers who have worked at the heart of the system to influence change: ➡️ Rt Hon Chris Skidmore, former UK energy minister  ➡️ Anuradha Chugh, B Lab UK board member, former MD of Ben & Jerry's and former CEO of Pukka Herbs ➡️ Farhana Yamin, British lawyer and climate activist, Farhana was a key architect of the Paris Climate Agreement. 3️⃣ Cynthia V Davis CBE, founder and CEO of Diversifying Group , will discuss why justice, equity, diversity and inclusion lie at the heart of the festival agenda. 4️⃣ To wrap up the morning, B Corps will then share their stories of impact as we celebrate (nearly) ten years of B Corps in the UK: ➡️ Brompton Bicycle’s collaboration with Sähëlï Hub to help thousands of women get active each year.  ➡ ️Finisterre's work to remove barriers to the sea through an adaptive wetsuit for people of all ages and abilities.  ➡️ The B Corp Beauty Coalition’s work to drive collective action in the beauty industry  ➡️ The Design Declares campaign to encourage UK-based designers to take action on the climate and ecological crisis. Plus #BCorp snacks from our product sponsors, Jude's ice cream and DASH Water during the break! Limited tickets available: https://bit.ly/3QRrNmD

I would LOVE to attend this, and despite having annual leave I don’t have any child care cover. Will any of it be streamed online for those of us who can’t travel?

Hi, everyone! I'm a Brazilian journalist interested in covering the event. :) Who’s the best person to talk to about press accreditation? Thanks a lot!
