Leighton’s take on ‘Woodstock for capitalists’ - the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting

Ever seen a small ‘B’ logo on a product or website? You were probably looking at a certified B Corporation—a business that meets rigorous standards of social and environmental performance. 

Sharesies co-founder and co-CEO Brooke Roberts sits down with Alex Hannant and Mindy Leow from B Lab—the nonprofit network behind B Corp certifications—to discuss the global B Corp movement and why it matters for investors.

The conversation covers growing consumer demand for ethical companies, the role of B Corps in shaping a sustainable economy, what it takes to become a B Corp, and Sharesies’ experience with gaining the certification.
