BUILDING BETTER BUSINESS – AMSTERDAM IMPACT

Building Better Business – Amsterdam ImpactMD Admin2022-02-14T12:46:58+00:00

Amsterdam wants to play a key role in the transition to a new economy and become
the number one city for companies that create both financial and social value.
To achieve this goal, the City of Amsterdam has co-created the Building Better
Business (BBB) programme to help profitable companies accelerate their social
and environmental impact, and get certified for their performance.
The programme has two different tracks participants can choose from: Economy for
the Common Good (ECG) and B Corp. Both tracks will help your business become a
change agent and will provide the foundation for certification, if you decide to
take that step.

A participant explains what she learned during the ECG track 2021.

ECG CERTIFICATION TRACK

The ECG track is for companies who want to increase their positive impact and
contribute to the Common Good: a good life for everyone on a healthy planet. At
the heart of ECG is the idea that value-driven businesses are mindful of, and
committed to: Human Dignity, Solidarity and Social Justice, Environmental
Sustainability, Transparency and Co-Determination. Adopting these core values
makes your company future-proof and a frontrunner of the new economy.

On this track companies have the opportunity to develop their Common Good
Report, which is a 360° sustainability management tool that improves
professional relationships and stimulates motivation, innovation and
productivity. In the marketplace, a Common Good Report shows that you are a
reliable partner with ethical values. It also connects you to a diverse network
of like-minded companies, municipalities, educational institutions, and
nonprofit organisations. There are over 4000 members worldwide, based in 35
countries. To get ECG-certified, you need an external audit of your Report.


ECG TRACK TIME INVESTMENT

The track starts with an information session on 9 May to prepare for
certification, which includes expert webinars, training and group consulting
spread over 32 hours and ends in October 2022. The goal for ECG track
participants is to produce a Common Good Report that is ready to be audited.
Participants can produce the report on their own or join the first or both parts
of the preparation process. Click here for more information.
