B Impact Assessment
20 Case Studies
A B Impact Assessment Case Study
Wager Audio inc, a small audio production and sound reinforcement company in Vancouver, WA, used the B Impact Assessment to better understand how socially conscious their business really was. Co-owners Jessicah and Brad Wager found that the process exposed gaps in their formal practices and showed them where they could more fully align operations with their values.
With support from the B Impact Assessment, Wager Audio inc turned that insight into action by adopting rechargeable batteries for wireless sound and electronic equipment. This change has already reduced waste by saving hundreds of disposable batteries from landfills, with thousands more expected to be avoided over time, while also lowering battery purchasing costs. Their B Impact score also rose to 31, highlighting measurable progress from the baseline assessment.
