March 5, 2020 10:33 AM EST

BETHEL, Conn., March 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- As more Connecticut businesses seek ways to benefit from best practices of a triple bottom line that considers people, planet and profit, the Connecticut Sustainable Business Council (CTSBC) and business member Envest Asset Management (EnvestAM) will convene thought leaders on the topic of B-Corp certification, a respected third-party certification focusing on the principles of sustainable business.

"When I started EnvestAM, it was important for me to incorporate my core values of environmental responsibility, transparency and accountability into my company and our B-Corp certification shows clients our commitment," says owner, James Osborn.

EnvestAM was recently awarded its certification and was the sixth Connecticut-based company to do so, joining more than 3,200 companies from more than 150 industries.  "These companies are redefining what it means to be a successful business. They have raised the bar and will be what competitors want to emulate," says Heather E. Burns, CEO Connecticut Sustainable Business Council.

On Thursday, March 19, 2020 from 5:30 PM - 8:00 PM, Deloitte will host business executives, sustainability professionals and industry leaders for dynamic, rapid-fire presentations, an interactive panel discussion and networking at offices located at 695 East Main Street, Stamford. Panelists include executives from Bigelow Tea, EnvestAM and Trifecta Ecosystems and will explore the benefits, challenges and process involved in obtaining B-Corp certification.

Heavy hors d'oeuvres include a signature, low-carbon footprint menu as well as sustainably sourced Asarasi Sparkling Tree Water and Certified Fair-trade, custom engraved chocolates from family-owned, mission-driven Noteworthy Chocolates.

Join CTSBC and meet folks from the C&I CLM team from Avangrid as a sponsor of this event, as well as sustainable business leaders, sustainable and corporate social responsibility professionals, social entrepreneurs and impact investors. Registration is required and closes March 15. Visit https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-b-corp-business-case-the-pros-the-cons-the-process-tickets-80390635555 to register.
