Fall 2024 B Corp Clinic: Driving Impact with Purpose

This past Fall 2024 semester, the B Corp Clinic brought together 12 talented students, 7 dedicated coaches, and 3 purpose-driven companies to advance sustainability and social impact through the B Corp Certification process.

One of the semester’s standout achievements was working with Doré, a French skincare brand. The team successfully completed their B Impact Assessment (BIA) and submitted it during the semester—a significant milestone in their journey toward B Corp Certification. Doré began this process in Spring 2024 with our B Corp Clinic and continued their progress through the B Academics Summer B Impact Teams program. Over the course of these collaborations, a total of 13 students have contributed to advancing Doré’s certification journey. We’re now eagerly awaiting their final certification decision.

The clinic also partnered with returning local companies, Firsthand Foods and Raleigh Founded, to support their B Corp recertification journeys. Both organizations are deeply committed to enhancing their impact and strengthening their sustainability practices, and we’re thrilled to continue supporting their efforts. Having participated in the early semesters of our B Corp Clinic, it’s inspiring to witness their growth and evolution as businesses. We look forward to seeing their B Corp Certification renewals in 2025.

Through collaboration and dedication, the Fall 2024 cohort exemplified the power of students, businesses, and coaches working together to create meaningful change.
