Struggle for the Soul of the B Corp Movement (w/ Erinch Sahan)
In February 2023, the Financial Times wrote an article entitled “Struggle for the Soul of the B Corp movement.” This article, among other things, detailed the controversy surrounding Nespresso’s certification as a B Corp in 2022. Enrich Sahan from Doughnut Economics was quoted several times in that FT article with some strong critiques of the B Corp movement.
Erinch joins the show to give us an overview of Doughnut Economics, a background on his involvement with the B Corp movement, and to go into more detail about his concerns and critiques about B Corporations.
