The B Local Triangle is a proud collection of B Corp enthusiasts leading the change in the Triangle area since 2008.
Our mission is to engage the Triangle’s diverse B Corporations to magnify the positive outcomes they create in our community, the environment, and their teams… and have fun while doing it!
We are a community of passionate people in the Research Triangle region of North Carolina who like to get together, and who are interested in social enterprise and the possibility of using business as a force for good.
We are business owners, B Corps team members, and curious folks who care about making a positive impact in the world.

Some of us, like T.S. Designs, Southern Energy Management have been part of the B Corporation movement from the very beginning. Others, like Leaf and Limb and Haven Ventures, are newly certified members. Nonetheless, anyone that shares our mission can join us over beers whether they’re from a certified B Corp company or just an advocate.
B Local Triangle allows us to meet like-minded people—many of whom are wrestling with similar business challenges. “Network” is probably too good a word to describe us—but we do trade amongst ourselves from time to time.
