Find out more about Scotland Can B
Launched in 2018, Scotland CAN B exists to build a nationwide culture of business as a force for good in Scotland. It is also a catalyst for place-based systems change. It is the first nationwide programme of its kind.
Scotland CAN B is an initiative in partnership between the Scottish Government and B Lab (the non profit 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 is on a mission to build a nationwide culture of business as a force for good in Scotland, and creating a wellbeing economy.
There are two strands to Scotland CAN B’s work:
- Strand #1: Fostering an Impact Culture: Cultivating coherence and alignment in the mindset, language, tools and frameworks used to leverage business for good in Scotland.
- Strand #2: Developing & Delivering Impact Trainings: Supporting businesses learn to measure and manage their social, environmental, and governance performance, and understand their impact towards the SDGs and Scotland’s National Performance Framework, through ‘Impact Journey’ trainings for businesses and business advisors.
