Using Your Purchasing Power: Supply Chain Engagement as Collective Action
A BLD Southeast 2026 breakout on why and how B Corps can support one another through their supply chain decisions, and vote more intentionally with their wallets.
At BLD Southeast 2026 in Washington, DC, Hazel Horvath, Founder of Ecolytics, and Kaley Cross Warner, Sustainability Director at Grove Collaborative and Chair of B Local NC Triangle, led a breakout session on the importance of, and the opportunity in, supporting one another through supply chain decisions.
Key takeaways
Why treat purchasing as collective action?
Every purchasing decision is a chance to support other purpose-driven businesses. When B Corps buy from one another intentionally, individual decisions add up to economic impact across the community.
How does this connect to the new standards?
Supply chain engagement shows up across several Impact Topics in B Lab's new standards, so intentional purchasing can also support your certification. Read our guide to the B Lab standards.
