Manoverboard, a design firm working with some of the most prestigious organizations in North America, today announced that it is officially a Certified B Corporation. The company, based in Winnipeg, is proud to be the first Certified B Corporation in Manitoba.

Manoverboard has worked with former U.S. Vice-President Al Gore’s sustainable investment firm, the United Nations, Acumen Fund, the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Council of Canadians with Disabilities, and MIT to build their online identities. The company has helped innovative hospitals, philanthropies, retailers, and authors to better connect their audiences with new ideas, information and communities.

Andrew Boardman, principal of Manoverboard, says: “Business has a duty to respond creatively to social and environmental challenges. A business has the ability to be nimble and to make changes in a way that has a positive impact on community and on society.”

By becoming the first Certified B Corporation in Manitoba, Manoverboard aligns its own internal values with an organization that has brought together over 775 like-minded companies to help change the world. Certified B Corporations meet higher standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. B Corp believes that setting these higher standards in a clear and measurable way matters, because, as B Corp co-founder Jay Cohen Gilbert says, “With so many companies marketing themselves as ‘good’ and ‘green’, it’s important to honour those walking the talk.”

Boardman believes that a better world can be powered by better design: “Our individual lives on the planet are short, but our collective impact is long. As a company of designers, communicators, and technologists, it’s our responsibility to work for organizations that advocate for people without voices, and for the environment that sustains us. We partner with those who invest in the future and care about how their message gets delivered.”

“Alone, we can make small changes in our behaviours, in our communities, and in the environment – but connected together through B Corporation, we have a chorus of companies working to redefine success and help address the world’s most pressing problems.”
