## July is B Corp month! We're celebrating being one of 2788 companies across 150 industries in 64 countries who all have one unifying vision: better business for a better world.

As a certified B Corporation since 2016, Portable lives its values, not only to do good work but to run our business in a way that prioritises purpose. B Corps are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on their workers, customers, suppliers, community and the environment. We're assessed on the 5 impact areas of the B Impact Assessment: environment, customers, governance, community and workers.

In this video, Portable's Joe Sciglitano, Luke Thomas, Sarah Kaur and Simon Goodrich share their thoughts on:

- what 'Better Business for a Better World' means
- what makes them proud to work for a B Corp
- specific actions we take to balance profit and purpose
- their brightest vision for the future of business
