We at Climate Change Coaches are excited to share how we’re celebrating our commitment to making a positive impact this #BcorpMonth We have been dedicated to addressing the climate crisis through coaching, believing that we can empower individuals and communities to create meaningful change. As a registered B-Corp, we are proud to uphold high standards of social and environmental responsibility, transparency, and accountability. In honor of B-Corp month, in partnership with B Lab UK our team has decided to give back by each donating £100 to a local charity of our choice, totaling £1,400! We chose to support local organisations because they often operate on limited funding and rely heavily on volunteers, yet they are doing remarkable work in our communities. Big thank you to Megan Fraser who is supporting Willows Animal Sanctuary, a fantastic charity that provides a loving home for horses and donkeys, cats, dogs, and other small animals and farm animals. Their commitment to a no-kill policy, unless advised by a vet, speaks volumes about their dedication to animal welfare. As passionate advocates for change, we believe in using our platform to uplift those who are making a difference. Stay tuned for more donations throughout the month 💚 #GenB #BTheChange #BcorpMonth #GivingBack
Did you know that March is B-Corp month? And did you know something awesome that we're doing to celebrate it? 👀 🌍 We began Climate Change Coaches (B-Corp) in 2018, as a response to the climate crisis – and our belief that as coaches, we could play an important role in helping people collectively to change. (After all, that's the bread and butter of coaching.) 🏆 We've since become a registered B-Corp, which means that we stand for business as a force of good. We hold ourselves to strict standards of social and environmental responsibility, transparency, and accountability. (Bonus: we're also 100% female owned!) Being a B-Corp means we make different decisions to live our values. 💰 So for B-Corp month, we're celebrating by having each member of our team donate £100 to a local charity of their choice. (That's £1,400 total.) Why local ones? • They don't get big pots of funding • They're often run on a shoestring • They often rely on volunteers • And yet they're doing great work! 🎯 My charity this year is Willows Animal Sanctuary (link in comments), a small charity that's still the largest, ethically managed, equine, farm and domestic animal sanctuary in Scotland. They're currently home to: • 🐴 100+ horses and donkeys • 🐈 70+ cats, dogs, and small animals • 🦆 100+ other farm animals and birds They also operate a strict no-kill policy, unless advised by a vet. 💚 Why THIS charity, out of all the choices? Well, I'm a massive animal lover and am particularly passionate about animal welfare. I believe that all animals have the same capacity for love and pain, not just our beloved pets (my dog is sprawling on the sofa behind me, all four paws in the air). So supporting a charity that lives this out is a real pleasure :) 👏 Thanks to CCC co-founders Charly Cox, Co-Founder Climate Change Coaches-cert B Corp and Zoe Greenwood for initiating this charity scheme! And happy B-Corp month, whether you're a B-Corp or not. May we all use our businesses as a force for good, for our planet, for society, and for life everywhere.
