Last week, we were happy to host the Greek B Corp Community Gathering at SDG House Greece, welcoming B Corps and friends of the movement for a morning of open discussion and connection.

The gathering focused on the new B Corp standards, how we can move from commitments to measurable impact and created space for like‑minded people who care about using business as a force for good to connect and explore new synergies.

A big thank you to Sotiris Pastras and the Apivita team for the organisation and to Sarah Garcia from for sharing insights on the B Corp community and the new standards. We were also glad to welcome such a diverse group of organisations working toward more responsible and impact-driven practices.

Let’s keep the conversation and synergies going and continue to together.

What if we stopped treating the olive tree as one or two products and started seeing it as a complete ecosystem of value? This is the question behind RE:OLIVE, our newest initiative, developed in collaboration with LIA' Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil Hub and powered by TheRockGroup.

In January, we launched our first training cycle, bringing together key stakeholders from across Greece: olive oil producers, agronomists, and entrepreneurs working on wastewater treatment solutions.

Over the coming weeks, participants will gain the tools, knowledge and connections to integrate sustainable practices and unlock new value opportunities across the olive lifecycle.
