B Purpose Bureau (BPB) is an impact consultancy firm specialising in using the B Corp standards to help businesses improve their sustainability and ESG performance by becoming more purpose-driven, impact-aware and stakeholder-focussed. They use the B Impact Assessment to help clients understand the impact they have on their stakeholders, what that means, how they can improve and the concrete steps needed to make that happen. Measuring impact is relevant to all businesses, regardless of whether the aim is to certify as a B Corp or not, even though this is what BPB helps many clients do. BPB has a strong focus on delivering tangible results for their clients and to enable them to “go from intent to action”. Establishing a strategy that helps align business objectives with purpose inspires positive change and setting a clear actionable roadmap realises it. This is B Purpose Bureau’s mission - to help clients prosper sustainably, together with its stakeholders. This is simply good business, a win for everyone. Besides impact assessments, BPB provides materiality assessments, workshops, training, stakeholder engagements, corporate-NGO partnership expertise, and communication campaigns. B Purpose Bureau is based in Hong Kong but operates globally.
