Join us at B Corp Planit’s workspace in Stroud - Standish Gatehouse - for a special screening of films telling stories about businesses attempting to find solutions for a regenerative future.
This event is hosted by Planit and the Gloucestershire B Local and explores a vital question: can we change the way the world does business?
Through powerful case studies from B Corps around the globe, these short films highlight how businesses are supporting workers and communities, addressing social inequality, and protecting our planet. Together, the stories show that a more sustainable, equitable and regenerative future is not only possible, but already happening.
