At Tallkirk Financial Group, we’ve started looking into the long process of becoming a certified B-corp to make our commitment to more than profit legally binding.
We want to build a business that is accountable to more than just shareholders. We don’t think the bottom line is all that matters.
Instead, we believe that business should be a tool for improving the world around us. We want to have a broad and inclusive impact, and meaningfully contribute to our community and the causes we care about.
Part of the process involves making that intention more specific. Some of the ideas we continue to come back to include:
1. Getting mental health care covered under OHIP
2. Changing the organ donor system to opt-out instead of opt-in
3. Minimizing food waste through a community composting program
4. Establishing a fund committed to making housing more affordable
More broadly, we care about reducing hunger and homelessness, better supporting people living with mental illness, and doing our part to protect the environment and fight climate change.
These are the big causes we care about, but we also want to learn more about what people in our community care about most, because that’s kind of the whole point.
Doing better, together. That’s why Tallkirk Financial Group exists.
