We are ORB. The Organisation for Responsible Businesses (ORB) is a member-owned, not-for-profit company, limited by guarantee. Since 2010, ORB has promoted responsible business in the small business community as a fully integrative approach. This means how you operate internally matters as much as your external impact. Our members form a warm and welcoming community of like-minded sole traders, micro, and small business owners who believe that people, planet, profit and purpose should be aligned. #responsiblebusiness #ORBfamily #ORBmember #peopleplanetprofitpurpose

Our CEO, Jill Poet, gifted ORB to the membership almost three years ago, on her 72nd birthday. Many people assumed it was because she was about to retire but Jill is still the full time CEO of the Organisation for Responsible Businesses! Although she is now supported by a wonderful female-led Board of Directors. So why did Jill give her company away? Find out more in this article Jill has had published on the Enterprise Nation blog - the link is in our bio! @e_nation

#ORBmember Clive Bonny, founder of Strategic Management Partners delivered a brilliant Intellectual Property workshop last week. It was so informative, with lots of fun elements - including a brief doggy interruption! Did you know that 30% of small enterprises suffer losses due to trademark and design infringement! Please take a look at Clive's presentation - you will find a link in our bio! #intellectualproperty #ipforsmallbusinesses

Connect with like-minded micro business owners in a friendly setting and leave feeling motivated for a better way of doing business. This March, weโ€™re unearthing into the art of business storytelling. Every responsible business has a story to tell. What inspired you to take this path? Why does it matter to you, and why should it matter to your audience? Your sustainability story is a powerful tool for building credibility and engaging customers. But are you telling it in a way that truly resonates? In this session, Caroline Aistrop, drawing on her 35 years of expertise in storytelling, PR, and communications, will help you craft authentic, compelling stories that capture attention and inspire action. If you're struggling with where to start or battling mental blocks - or you're a seasoned storyteller and would like a breath of fresh air - this is your chance to consider how to bring your story to life!
