B Lab is excited to announce the establishment of an additional partnership to extend our presence and regional representation in Southern Africa. In partnership with Animarem, B Lab hopes to enable companies drive and measure ‘business as a force for good’. This partnership will also help businesses in Southern Africa fully realize their social and environmental contribution as private sector through the B Corporation Certification and the SDG Action Manager

Any for-profit business needs to be mindful of their environmental footprint and their contribution toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. We are pleased with our partnership with another conscious company, Animarem, to help businesses in Southern Africa fully realize their social and environmental contribution as private sector. We hope to advance the global movement of companies that balance purpose and profit to be mindful of their business impact.

Ngwing Kimani, Executive Director, B Lab East Africa

Around the world we are seeing a purposeful change in business. Now we have the tools, certification and expertise to help fuel this transformation. It’s a pleasure to be aligning with B Lab East Africa to offer on the ground community support in South Africa and north of our borders.
