March is B Corp Month, a time to celebrate the community of Certified B Corps and our collective impact. 

We became a B Corp in 2012 (and public benefit corporation in 2016) to demonstrate our commitment to triple bottom line impact. Our work is about helping organic and regenerative farmers succeed by providing innovative financial tools like long-term leases, mortgages, and, most recently, operating lines of credit. Our farmers create impact with their land and with their communities. Organic and regenerative farming has been increasingly recognized as a powerful tool to mitigate and even reverse climate change. This work is supported by impact investors, a community that prioritizes more than just financial returns. We’re proud to be a part of the B Corp community and to be working with farmers and investors alike to make business a force for good.

This B Corp month, we’d like to highlight a new B Corp within our financial advisory network. Figure 8 Investment Strategies is an independent registered investment advisor based in Boise, Idaho and was founded by Lisa Cooper in 2016 with the mission to shift the balance of wealth and power. Figure 8 integrates social and environmental impact into every aspect of its business, from its employees and operations, to the investment decisions made across client accounts. Figure 8 proudly earned its B Corp certification in January 2020.

Congrats to Figure 8 – welcome to the B Corp community!
