The event exhibit and marketing services firm joins a growing community of for-profit companies committed to using business as a “force for good.”
At the close of 2020 Steelhead Productions, a Las Vegas-based exhibit builder, announced it had been awarded the B Corp Certification from the nonprofit B Lab, becoming the only B Corp Certified tradeshow company in North America. Earning a B Corp Certification requires an arduous review of a business’ social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency, and is based
on a vision of creating a community of for-profit companies committed to using their business structure as a “force for good.”
“Steelhead becoming a certified B Corp, is one of our most proud achievements!” says CMO Rhiannon Andersen (pictured left). “In today’s corporate landscape, just being good at what you do is not good enough…how you work also matters. We have had the statement of ‘it’s not just what you do, it’s how you do it that matters’ built into our values for years, and with this certification we’ve proven our commitment to being a purpose driven brand.”
Sean Combs (pictured right), Steelhead’s CEO, said what made Steelhead prime to achieving the B Corp Certification is that it is a value-driven company that’s clear on its purpose. Most companies say they have values and a mission statement, but Steelhead uses them as a constant filter for decision-making.
“Steelhead and our employees (Steelheaders) are so proud to join other pioneering brands such as Ben & Jerry’s, Allbirds, Patagonia, Athletica, Warby Parker, Etsy and many more who are committed to using business as a force for good in the world,” says Combs.
