 The Ian Martin Group, led by CEO Tim Masson, believes that there's a better way to do business. Success is defined as benefiting all by creating greater economic opportunity, strengthening local communities and preserving our environment. Tim believes that companies thrive not only on what they do, but why they do it.

Certified B Corps are leading a global movement to redefine success in business. By voluntarily meeting higher standards of transparency, accountability and performance, Certified B Corps are distinguishing themselves in a cluttered marketplace by offering a positive vision of a better way to do business.  

On November 13, 2013, HRMAM and Ian Martin Executive are hosting a discussion about this global movement. We will have a panel of business leaders who have made the journey in leading their own organizations and they will discuss why becoming a Certified B (Benefit) Corporation was key to guiding their companies to a new future and purpose.
