Macs Adventure’s Post

<<KLAXON>> Macs Adventure is a B Corp! This is a very proud moment for us as a business, and for me personally. It marks the achievement of a vision we set out two years ago. Back then, we knew instinctively we could, and should, be a B Corp but we had to go on a journey to prove it. As the leader of that journey, I've certainly had my ups and downs, but have never felt a greater sense of purpose, or reward. Becoming a B Corp takes serious commitment, so here are my learnings for anyone contemplating it: 1. Take the time upfront to consider what does and doesn’t feel authentic to your business when it comes to (non-profit) social and environmental goals - accept you can't, and shouldn't, do everything. At Macs, we honed in on 4 of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals that spoke best to what we do, including decent work, economic growth and good health and wellbeing. We then set about defining the things we could do to amplify the positive impact we make in each of these areas, creating our agenda for change. 2. Build a passionate team around you to deliver the process and be sure to allocate time to it - it's not a side hustle. You’ll need representatives from different areas of the business - B Corp is as much about how you govern and look after your people as what you do for the environment or the community. The team will need to be curious and tenacious to see it through (which, in the case of my team at Macs, they were. They have been superb.) 3. Involve the whole business. I updated the whole Macs team each month on where we were in our journey and, more importantly, what they could do to contribute. It was brilliant to see colleagues taking the initiative. 4. Get help from someone who’s done it before. Mehalah Beckett got us started, working through what was and wasn't material to our business. Charlie Cotton and the team at ecollective brought invaluable expertise on environmental measurement. We also engaged Rachel Parsons (courtesy of an intro from our Chair Paul Carter) to work with us on completing the Business Impact Assessment itself and amassing the evidence needed (the nuts about bolts of the B Corp process). Her enthusiasm and encouragement lifted me, and all the team, when things seemed overwhelming, and her experience and pragmatism ensured we put our energy in the right places. Rachel, we couldn’t have done it without you! #bcorp #sustainabletravel #responsibletravel

The theme for B Corp month this year is all about moving forward. With this in mind, we spoke to our Product and Impact Director, Jarrod Kyte, about what this means for Positive Impact Travel. #bcorpmonth #bcorp #bcorpcertified #positiveimpacttravel #positiveimpact #movingforward #movingforwardtogether

This short survey is to understand how businesses feel about the current public transport and active travel network in Greater Manchester, and what would encourage them to take up sustainable ways of traveling for their employees and business operations. Businesses must operate in Greater Manchester and participants need to be able to answer on behalf of their business.     The Business Travel Survey helps TfGM to be better informed around the challenges and opportunities for businesses taking up sustainable travel options, inform the design of advice, resources and services, improve the way they communicate with businesses and to track businesses attitudes and priorities over time. For example, responses from last year’s survey helped to inform the approach for a night time transport pilot launching later this year in parts of Greater Manchester.    Take the Business Travel Survey here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gua7Eb-e #BeeNetZero #SustainableTransport #PublicTransport #GreaterManchester
