Kate Sandle, Director of Programmes and Engagement of B Lab UK, said: “We are pleased to have B Corps of all shapes and sizes – from startups to multinationals, and across many different industries. We are delighted to welcome Montanaro to the B Corp community.
This is a movement of companies who are committed to changing how business operates, who believe business really can be a force for good.
