A final toast to 2021
Here’s to a year that’s now in the rearview mirror, but not forgotten. We had many wins and we’re proud to share this recap as a proper 2021 sendoff. Cheers to what’s to come in 2022!

A pandemic positive?
Mother Nature likes a hybrid workforce, too. Raise your glasses – iBec Creative has now been carbon neutral for two years! In this past year, we also met an unlikely ally that helped our environmental mission – the pandemic. In this blog, we’ll share exactly what offsetting carbon means, our own numbers, and how it’s changed with a hybrid model. We’ll also detail how you can act right now, especially since climate change may soon be powered by the home office.

iBec Creative is now a Benefit Corporation
It’s official – iBec Creative is now a Benefit Corporation here in Maine. It’s different from a B Corp (we are still in the process of getting certified as a B Corp), and we’re going to break it all down for you right here. We couldn’t be more excited to share this latest milestone in our journey, so let’s jump in!

Greetings from: The new normal?
After 15 months away, the first time venturing into the office was bizarre. We’ve heard that most of you felt the same way – seeing calendars frozen in March 2020 or mugs with the last sip of coffee you never got to – a bit post-apocalyptic. Luckily, today looks different. While it’s not what it “used to be,” we’re finding “what can be” is redefining our work culture (here at iBec and collectively as a society) in many positive ways.

Calculating carbon neutral offsets and celebrating LD 846
This month, we’d love to share two things with all of you. First, we’ll share our process for calculating carbon impact. It’s a pretty daunting requirement for the B Corp assessment, and we hope this will be helpful for fellow companies that have this on their to-do list. Then, we’ll share our experience providing a testimonial to the Maine Committee on Taxation to express our strong support for the Resolve to Promote Benefit Corporations (L.D. 846). Spoiler alert, there’s some good news to celebrate!

Contributing to Maine B Corp resources
While we’re still working hard on the B Corp process, we’d like to share our current in-tandem project that we’re really excited about. We’re joining the business leaders spearheading the B Corp group in Maine to help launch a new Maine B Corp resource website. We’re volunteering our resources to help get this off the ground and raise awareness about B Corps in Maine. Curious to learn more about this, or if it’s something your business would like to be part of? We’re happy to share a sneak peek into these early stages! By: Becky McKinnell
