About us
The vision of B Academics is to advance the academic study, teaching and practice of “business as a force for good,” ensuring this approach is embedded in every academic institution and empowers future impact leaders to build ethical, inclusive and resilient ventures.
B Academics supports systems level change, where education embraces and advances the principles of social and environmental impact across curriculum, research, and practice. We achieve this through a collaborative global network of educators, researchers, students and industry professionals working together to study and advance B Corps and benefit corporations.
