B is for Benefit
With Vancouver Film Studios leading the way, we have dedicated ourselves to becoming a better business; for our employees, our customers, and the rest of the world.
But what does that even mean, to be a better business? We're on a mission to find out exactly what that is, and being a Certified B Corporation is part of that mission.

Here's just a few of the things we're doing to promote a healthy workplace, community, and world! Want to see more? Check out our full B Lab assessment with Vancouver Film Studios here.
