Challenge
B Corps commit to high social and environmental standards, yet many struggle to fully engage employees in sustainability and certification. B Lab Benelux asked Behaven to close the gap between intention and action, with a practical toolkit that would mobilise employees and support recertification.
Solution
Through in-depth interviews with 15 B Corps, we used our Landscape Model™ to map 20 barriers to engagement. From these insights, we built a nine-factor engagement framework and co-created 19 practical solutions with B Corps and B Lab Benelux, each with real-life examples and step-by-step guidance.
Impact
We delivered a science-based toolkit that helps B Corps engage employees, strengthen sustainability performance and meet certification standards, through practical, proven strategies.
“Working with Behaven on our Employee Engagement Toolkit helped us combine behavioural science with the reality of our B Corp companies.”
