Exhibit Resources will share this vision as a B Corp through their sustainable practices that can bring efficiencies and financial benefits. Exhibit Resources illustrate notable efforts as a B Corp through planned usage of solar panels, their water collection project, and their consistent use of recycled materials.
"Being a socially responsible company is inherent to our business at Exhibit Resources," said Calloway. "Gaining certification and status as a B Corp will enable us to better promote our commitment of social responsibility and our impact on the world around us. "
More than seven hundred businesses from sixty industries and twenty-four countries make up the B Corp community. This unique community strives to redefine success in business while representing a diverse multibillion marketplace.
