Suzanne Howe Communications is a Certified B Corporation™
What is B Corp?
B Lab™ began in 2006 with the idea that a different kind of economy was not only possible – it was necessary.
The ‘B’ in B Lab stands for “benefit” – for people and the planet, not just shareholders.
The B Lab founders believed that there was a better way to do business: better for workers, better for communities, and better for the planet.
B Lab certifies B Corporations™ – companies that meet verified standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.
