In this episode, we go behind the scenes of a real B Corp transformation with Ros Winchester, Sustainability & Operations Director at JGA Recruitment. This isn’t theory or surface-level culture talk - this is what happens when a company decides to measure, validate, and prove its values.

Most businesses claim to care about purpose, culture, and impact. But very few are willing to go through the rigorous process of external validation, operational change, and continuous improvement that it actually takes.
