Hear from our alumni…

“I completed the Leadership for Good course because we are going through B Corp certification ourselves. I found the course extremely helpful, and it’s given me so much knowledge further to what I already had. I feel confident that I can guide Tenzing through B Corp and recertification, as well as give advice to other companies on the same journey. The small group size meant that we were really able to dig into every topic and cover any questions raised. I’d very much recommend to anyone going through B Corp certification, or interested in learning more about the programme.”

- Honor de Winton, Tenzing Private Equity

“The Leadership for Good Programme provided an engaging and informative introduction, and in many aspects deep dive, into the world of B Corps – why we need them, what they are and the process a business goes through to become one.  It was a really enjoyable course, the mix of online and in-person sessions worked well allowing for meaningful and insightful conversations. A great course for anyone in business thinking of becoming a B Corp and for sustainability consultants.” 

- Suzanne Wise, Sustainability Consultant & former Senior Vice President of Corporate Sustainability.

"I joined the inaugural Leadership for Good programme and am now a fully-fledged B Corp Consultant, helping several businesses on their B Corp journeys. The backup and support I receive from the UK for Good team and community is invaluable, enabling me to share issues, ask questions and stay fully up to date with matters of importance in the world of sustainability.”
