Training partnership with NVPC and Singapore Fashion Council
B Lab Singapore, in collaboration with the Singapore Fashion Council, recently concluded the Lead with Purpose Bootcamp, a comprehensive three-session workshop aimed at guiding businesses in the fashion industry who aspire to lead with purpose and build resilient, impactful companies.
This initiative provided participants with the knowledge and best practices needed to measure and enhance their social and environmental impact, by utilizing the B Impact Assessment as a tool to build a more sustainable business practice.
The Lead with Purpose Bootcamp
The bootcamp was designed to help businesses understand and navigate the B Impact Assessment, to identify areas where they can improve their impact in areas such stakeholder governance, worker policies, community engagement, customer relationships and environmental stewardship. The program offered a pathway to developing an impact-led strategy.
Over three sessions, participants explored the B Impact Assessment, identified areas for impact-led innovation, and crafted their impact stories. The sessions featured insights from B Corp guest speakers, Dr. Bernice Pan, Founder of B Corp DEPLOY London, and Michelle Lim, Founder of B Corp Make the Change, providing real-world perspectives and success stories to inspire participants on their journey.
Design of the Bootcamp
Session 1: The Value of Impact in Business
This session focused on exploring challenges and opportunities across various impact areas of the B Impact Assessment. Through interactive case studies, participants engaged deeply with the content, working through the impact areas of their own businesses.
This workshop was all about kickstarting the journey toward purposeful leadership.
Session 2: Creating a Roadmap to Accelerate your Impact
This session took a deep dive into Impact Business Models applicable to the apparel industry. Participants were encouraged to identify specific areas of their business where improvements would have the greatest impact.
We were honoured to have Dr Bernice Pan, founder of Deploy London, as the guest speaker to share about Deploy’s 360 Sustainability Ethos.
Session 3: Building a Flourishing, Impactful Business
After 3 months of working on their B Impact Assessment, participants in the bootcamp had an action plan in hand to understand What, When and Who to prioritise in order to realise their ambitions of having flourishing impactful businesses.
Michelle Lim, CEO and Founder of Make the Change and M.A.D. School shared her journey with the participants, and equipped them with tools for owning their impact stories.
Paving the Path Forward Through Collaboration
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to NVPC and the Singapore Fashion Council for inviting the B Lab Singapore team to host the Lead with Purpose Bootcamp. As we look to the future, we are excited to witness the growth of the sustainable fashion industry in Singapore, driven by purpose-led businesses committed to making a positive impact.
We are eager to continue collaborating with partners across various sectors, working together to build a more inclusive and sustainable economy for all.
