On today's episode, Jessica Thomas and Eric Henry give us the inside information on B-Corps, which Jessica describes as, "the leading edge of a sustainable business movement - businesses that are really innovating when it comes to social and environmental impact and really positively impacting stakeholders across the board." But what does all that mean? And how does NC State, Poole College and the B-Corp Clinic, create a roadmap to guide and educate students on positive social impact?
Jessica Thomas is an Assistant Professor of Practice and the Director of the Business Sustainability Collaborative at Poole College. Jessica has over 15 years of experience working domestically and internationally in sustainable enterprise, social innovation, and business development.
Eric Henry is the Founder and President of TS Designs, the first certified B Corp and North Carolina.
