Abstract

Achieving sustainability goals for an online institution were evaluated through a qualitative case study including observation techniques, document reviews, and subcommittee narratives highlighting the practices and achievements from American College of Education's 2020-2021 Benefit Corporation (B Corp) subcommittee implementation. The purpose of this study was to explore how the subcommittees impacted goals of sustainability within the college. Full-time employees volunteered, and three subcommittees were formed, which include community, environment, and workers. The result was that each of the three subcommittees were able to make an impact and increase the overall score on the B Impact Assessment Scorecard, which is an evaluation used to certify or recertify a B Corp. Lessons learned in 2020 included but were not limited to faculty and staff members being more engaged, motivated, and taking ownership of meeting sustainability goals for the organization.
