Find out more about Scotland Can B
Launched in 2018, Scotland CAN B aims to cultivate a nationwide culture where businesses act as a force for good in Scotland.
Scotland CAN B is a collaborative initiative between the Scottish Government and B Lab, the nonprofit organisation behind B Corp certification. Created to explore what happens when you combine the entrepreneurial, innovative and business for good ambitions of one country.
Scotland CAN B’s mission is to foster a nationwide culture where businesses serve as a force for good, contributing to the creation of a wellbeing economy in Scotland.
There are two strands to Scotland CAN B’s work:
- Strand #1: Fostering an Impact Culture: Promoting coherence and alignment in the mindsets, language, tools, and frameworks used to leverage businesses for good in Scotland.
- Strand #2: Developing & Delivering Impact Trainings: Assisting businesses in learning to measure and manage their social, environmental, and governance performance, and understanding their impact concerning the SDGs and Scotland’s National Performance Framework, through ‘Impact Journey’ trainings for businesses and advisors.
How can we help?
Black Skies Blue helps support businesses to understand, define, measure, and improve their environmental, social, and governance performance.
We use the Impact Journey to do this, supporting and guiding businesses through this cyclical, comprehensive and holistic process.
