Resilience in a New Business Climate: Practical Strategies for B Corps and Other Values-Aligned Businesses

Join BDC and B Local British Columbia for an in-person lunch and fireside chat with Karen Sytnick, Director Advisory, BC and North on what Canadian companies are seeing on the ground: tariff uncertainty, rising ESG expectations from customers and suppliers, and the new compliance reality of doing business in Europe and other progressive markets. We’ll unpack what the New B Corp Standards (effective April 2025) mean in practice, why it’s becoming a strategic asset for market diversification and funding readiness, and how companies can stage their next steps. Expect real talk, memorable stories, and actionable takeaways you can put to use, with time to network and meet values-aligned people in the Vancouver B Corp and business community.
