May 17: Meet Florida Businesses Aligning Purpose with Profit

May 14, 2018 by Post

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — After a beta launch last month and still coalescing, collective StPeteForGood is partnering with a reinvigorated Conscious Capitalism Florida to present a May 17 (9:30am) panel discussion with Florida businesses “working for more than just profits.”

Panelists represent Certified B Corps operating in Florida: Orlando-based Clean The World, Winter Springs-based Zen Life Center, St. Petersburg-based Salt Palm Development, and national retailer Athleta. The panel will be moderated by Conscious Capitalism Florida.

Additionally, there will be remarks by national nonprofits 1% for the Planet and Ideas For Us, along with City of St. Petersburg small business liaison Jessica Eilerman.

WHO: Attendees will include business leaders, entrepreneurs, and other change-agents.

PANEL: Dirk Roskam, CFO, Clean the World (Certified B Corp 2015)
Jared Meyers, CEO, Salt Palm Development (Certified B Corp 2018)
Dr. Sheila Rocherfort-Hoehn, Zen Life Center (Certified B Corp 2016)
Louisa Cisneros, Community Lead, Athleta (Certified B Corp 2018)
Moderated by Vinny Tafuro, president, Conscious Capitalism Florida

WHAT: What is a benefit corporation? What is a B Corp? Why do they earn Certification? How might you do it? Learn from personal journeys of top executives building businesses structured to do more than just maximize profits. For-profit businesses that are changing their communities and the world while making a living at the same time.

WHY: B Corps and like-minded businesses are leading a global movement of people using business as a force for good.
