About KALÓS

 

Architects of positive change.

KALÓS in the Greek language, written κᾰλός, means "good" or "noble”). 'KALÓS' as a concept, crystallised in ancient Greek philosophical thought, referred to a combination of physical appearance and the virtues of the soul. B Corps prioritise ethical considerations in their operations, ensuring that their business activities have a positive impact on society and the environment.

In a 'collective', there is a sense of shared responsibility. A collective reflects a collaboration of organisations who come together and who share common values. B Corps are part of a global network of businesses that meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. By aligning with the B Corp Movement, companies are positioning themselves among a community of like-minded organisations dedicated to using business as a force for good.

B Corps measure their success not only by financial metrics but also by their positive impact on the environment and society. The triskele's Celtic symbolism of interconnectedness, with its three interlocking spirals, reflects the interconnected nature of social and environmental issues, extending beyond profit to contribute positively to the broader community and the planet.
