Being a force for good means centering people and the planet. Joining us for our inaugural episode of season 4 we have two B Corps who are doing just that.

Beauty and personal care brand, Faith in Nature was the first company to appoint nature to its board of directors. In the episode, Brand Director Simeon Rose tells us how the idea came about and how nature is represented in every decision the company makes.

We’re also joined by Yerba Madre CEO, Ben Mand. He’ll tell us how his company fills their iconic yellow cans with Yerba Mate (a caffeinated tea like beverage) while forming relationships with farmers and suppliers. Yerba Madre’s relationships with people allow them to implement climate focused changes that make their whole supply chain more sustainable.

In this episode we want to impress upon you that the climate fight is a holistic one. Throughout the season you’ll hear about groundbreaking climate solutions from companies big and small. All the while, we want you to remember that meaningful climate action is still possible but cannot happen without intentional action in all areas of a business!

Forces for Good takes a hard look at how companies are helping to solve the biggest social and environmental challenges we face.

On Season 4, we’re zeroing in on the environment and exploring sectors with the biggest climate impact: finance, fashion, travel, and more.

As the B Corps in this season demonstrate, meaningful climate action is not out of reach! We’ll tell you how both businesses and individuals can make a difference and how environmental progress can’t be made without addressing governance and social challenges.

AI is poised to radically transform the way we work. This moment is an opportunity for workers, business leaders, and governments to come together and harness this powerful technology for good – or face the consequences of failing to act.

Today’s guests, Richie Jones and Hilke Schellmann, help us learn how people and AI fit together into the future of work.

Hilke is an Assistant Professor of Journalism at New York University and an Emmy award-winning investigative reporter. Recently, her reporting has been focused on AI. In the episode, she gives us an overview and a warning about how AI has been shaping hiring processes.

Richie is the Founder and CEO of Vvast, an e-commerce services company (and B Corp). He also helped found and is a member of the Ethical AI Coalition. Their goal is to introduce more transparency into the use of AI so that companies can learn from each other.

B Lab believes that AI can be a force for good, but no one person – not a worker, not a CEO, not even governments – can do this alone. We all need to demand transparency and accountability from those in the business of AI.
