58. Brendan Reimer on ACU's Journey to B Corp

Strategy Made Simple

The purpose of B Corp is to certify and demonstrate businesses that are doing social good through their operations. Built into the system is an incentive to improve the impact that is being done by the business. ACU received their B Corp certification in February of 2020, and received the highest score in Canada and the 6th highest score in the world. I had the opportunity to sit down with Brendan Reimer to discuss what being a B Corp means for ACU, why it joined the movement, and why it’s a focus for the organization.

Note: ACU does not have investors, but is owned by its members.
