One unique thing about sustainability at UNH is that students can work alongside professionals to learn new skills while making meaningful impact supporting local companies. This fall, B Impact Clinic students are learning B Lab’s new standards for assessing a company’s environmental and social impacts and helping four companies complete the B Impact Assessment – the first step for a company to become B Corp certified. Meet the companies and student teams working together for a sustainable future.
