"Responsible" – Is There Such a Thing as a Responsible Business?
Join us to discuss whether businesses can truly be responsible and ethical in today’s world
About the event
Join us for an exclusive screening of Responsible, the acclaimed documentary from Eliotness and Welcome to the Jungle, directed by Tristan Lochon.
This powerful film explores whether truly responsible business is possible amidst the climate crisis, challenging the idea that profit should come before people and planet.
Following the screening, engage in a panel discussion with local B Corp leaders and sustainability experts to explore the themes raised by the film and what responsible business means in practice.
This event also marks the launch of the B-Local Change Fund, a partnership with Point North Community Foundation. The fund amplifies local impact by supporting charities aligned with the core B Corp themes of Fair Work, Nature & Climate, and Stakeholder Governance.
