Social Enterprise B-Corporation Certification Plan

To achieve B-Corporation certification, our company must receive a minimum score on social and environmental performance. This is an online assessment that is overseen by the independent body that certifies B-Corporations (the B Lab). The assessment covers our entire operations and measures our impact in governance, workers, community, the environment, as well as our products and services. We also must integrate sustainability commitments to stakeholders into our governing documents. Scope of Work: An assessment of our current score, which will allow us to identify our areas for improvement. You will leverage the on-line portal to evaluate Peqish's current score. You will assess the score in relationship to other companies, score the latter of which is available on-line. You will create a summary of your findings and present those to management, Management will pick an area that needs improvement and will have you focus on that area to create a plan to how to improve Peqish's score in that area. The final project deliverable is a written report detailing the bullet points from above.
