A remarkable evening of discussion and sharing occurred on June 6 at Grace Farms Foundation for the book launch & conversation of The Profiteers - How Business Privatizes Profits and Socializes Costs by Christopher Marquis. The author moderated a panel of B Corporation leaders that included Aidaly Sosa Walker, VP of Marketing of Tony's Chocolonely North America, Joseph Kenner, CEO of Greyston Bakery, and Sharon Prince, CEO and Founder of Grace Farms. The discussion highlighted how important Certified B Corporation companies are in building a more humanity-focused business environment that has long-term benefits to all stakeholders . . . the workers, the community, the environment, and investors. #bcorp, B Lab, Greyston

How fun to get a text from a friend this morning that he saw a CBS News clip about us while he was watching TV in Danbury, CT! Then I received this link to the same piece that was aired today in Miami, FL!! I love that the news of Open Hiring is getting out. I wish we weren't so unique. If you want to learn more about Open Hiring, let me know!

Ty - Thank you for your friendship and support of Greyston and #OpenHiring.
What an incredible evening we shared on January 25th at The Picture House for the screening of "Zen Brownie" and "Wide Open Dreams". We are filled with immense gratitude for all the enthusiasm and support from our attendees. The night was truly special. From the inspiring films to the engaging panel discussion with Alison Bartlett, Michael Pirson, Ben Cohen, and Eve Marko, each moment was a testament to the power and impact of purpose-driven business and leadership. The reactions, questions, and discussions brought life to our mission and values. And, of course, meeting Ben & Jerry in person and sharing those delicious treats added an extra special layer of joy to our gathering. At the heart of Greyston's mission is the belief that every person deserves an opportunity to work. Your support plays a pivotal role in our ongoing journey to provide workforce development training, transitional employment programs, and social services support to our Greyston Foundation clients. We'd like to extend our gratitude to our Title Sponsors, American Sugar Refining, Inc./Domino and Kathleen Casey; our Zen Brownie Sponsors, Empire City Casino and Valley Bank; our Brownie Sponsors, Cantilever: Websites, Branding & Product Design, CleanCraft LLC, Betty Cotton, Elan, RM Friedland, Vivek Shah and St. John's Riverside Hospital; and our Food & Beverage Sponsors, Ben & Jerry's, Harlem Blue Beer, Stew Leonard's Wines & Spirits and The Taco Project. And many thanks to our raffle sponsor, JetBlue.
