Description
One of the substantial changes within the past thirty years is the enormous growth of the number of conscious consumers, social responsible investments and triple bottom line businesses (TBL), believing that business should strive to do no harm. Certified B Corps accelerate this trend by creating, using and promoting new legal structures that seek to create value for all stakeholders. The Portuguese renewable energy company Boa Energia wants to join this globally extended B Corp network. Hence, the objective of this internship is to lead Boa Energia through the path of becoming a B Corp and suggest best practices that help the company to have more sustainable impact in the future.
