Business As A Force For Good with Brendan Reimer

The purpose of B Corp is to certify and demonstrate businesses that are doing social good through their operations. Built into the system is an incentive to improve the impact that is being done by the business. ACU received their B Corp certification in February of 2020, and received the highest score in Canada and the 6th highest score in the world. I had the opportunity to sit down with Brendan Reimer to discuss what being a B Corp means for ACU, why it joined the movement, and why it’s a focus for the organization. Note: ACU does not have investors, but is owned by its members. --- You can continue the conversation by joining SocialEconomyConnect.com.

58. Brendan Reimer on ACU's Journey to B Corp

My guest today is Brendan Reimer, and he is the Strategic Partner of Values-Based Banking with Assiniboine Credit Union. Over the course of our conversation, he made sure to explain how important the individual is in the process of making change. No change happens without individual people deciding that they are going to make a difference, however big or small that difference is. He then explained how he is able to help people reach a place where they are able to help others through the use of the banking system. Listen to the episode to find out more about how being a Co-Op changes how ACU operates, and how they help people who are normally excluded from banking.
