VICTORIA, British Columbia – Sept. 12, 2017 – B Lab International announces today that Enrollment Resources is being honored with three Global B Corp Best for the World Honors. Enrollment Resources is receiving the Changemakers, Best for Workers and Governance Awards.

B Corps must go through a rigorous Certification process and must be recertified every two years. B Corps include Patagonia, Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream and in Canada, BDC and Tartan Communications.
“Companies like Enrollment Resources are setting a new standard for creating positive impact for employees through their business,” says Jay Coen Gilbert, co-founder of B Lab. “We’re proud to shine a light on their achievement. Best for the World is the only list of businesses making the greatest positive impact that uses comprehensive, comparable, third-party-validated data about a company’s social and environmental performance.”
Enrollment Resources co founder Gregg Meiklejohn was thrilled when receiving the call from B Corp. “when my partner Shane Sparks and I talk about doing what’s right, in addition to making a return, it can sometimes feel like a thankless process. In getting a recognition like this, all the members at ER are feeling pretty good right now.”
