B Corp

Mappers - Jason actually tweeted about this yesterday, and linked it to the St. Gallois twitter thread, which explained what it meant to them

I don't even pretend to understand the ins and outs of all this B Corp palaver but can't help wondering if it's the new brown envelope, greased palm, old boys club scenario.
It just seems to have popped up out of nowhere in recent years.

Whilst it's supposed to be entirely about the opposite of that, you can sort of see a possibility how it becomes that way. Where companies only want to deal with other B Corp accredited companies and it essentially becomes a club for like minded people to find others that think like them and only deal with them. Not exactly different to the masons, but it's a stretch to suggest that's what is happening right now.

Because the £50 used for the application could of been used to buy a new centre half !!!!

The cost is not £50 though, is it? The application fee is irrelevant and there's then membership fees which are higher, but based on company income so probably not huge.

But add in all the man hours that the application requires, all the time and cost of changing the infrastructure to comply and all the other things we have to do that don't really apply to football clubs and the cost is easily in the tens and possibly hundreds of thousands.

I don't disagree with anything that B Corp stands for, I just think you can do all of it without having to be part of some paid club.

Oh great - another thread of middle aged men wondering aloud (or in text form at least) variations of: “I don’t understanding this therefore it must be woke and/or corrupt”.

Well please feel free to cancel us then, which is how it seems to go these days when our opinions don't match with yours.

You're cancelled.

Oh no, the man hours of filling in an application form when Jason should quite clearly be out on the training pitch teaching Harvey Rodgers how to defend the near post and Toby Mullarkey how to stop a cross !!!!

Load of shite mate, based on your previous post aswell. I've worked in association with companies that are BCorp and my company itself isn't BCorp. There's plenty of posts on this thread alone from people with much more understanding of what BCorp brings to a business and I assume you haven't read those either. The cost is quite literally £250 for the full application, and membership fees would probably be £2000. Your next point referring to cost of changing the infrastructure, we had no infrastructure before they took the club on, the infrastructure has doubled in size. I don't see how that can be deemed as a bad thing, the club is now a well run organisation. Janice the tea lady isn't also picking up shifts behind the till on Match Days serving tickets or in the club shop. Steve Crousden isn't having to urine about washing and sorting the first team kits or equipment. We have some very good people in very good positions that have been brought into the club because of the added infrastructure. That wasn't anything to do with BCorp or meeting there accreditations, it was purely down to being somewhat run like an actual football club and an actual business.

Would you regard J K Rowling's treatment by the Transgender movement over her views as being " cancelled"?
It's not enough for the " Woke Movement" to have contrary views to their beliefs, you are subjected to vilification for having them. It's just like the book 1984 , you don't have to just accept Big Brother, you have to love him.
