Making a difference has never been this easy.

Be inspired by the story in the video below .

The Origin Story video traces B1G1 Founder Masami ​Sato’s journey from an accidental entrepreneur to a ​global business-as-a-force-for-good leader. Masami saw ​that if she was able to change the way business ​philanthropy was done, amazing things could happen. And ​they have!

Driven by her deep belief that every business has the ​power to create a significant difference, Masami ​embarked on a mission to make giving an inherent part of ​every business transaction.

Today, B1G1 opens up an entirely new way of ​implementing strategically important and deeply resonant ​ways of putting purpose, impact and social responsibility ​right at the very core of your business.

It’s a new way of thinking, doing and becoming...

Every great story has a hero, and you might expect the ​hero on our ‘About Us’ page to be us.

But here, the hero isn’t us—it’s you.

We all know we need to make a difference, to create ​positive impacts and meaning, but sometimes we lack ‘the ​how.’ B1G1 unfolds that ‘how’ for you in powerful, simple ​ways, just as it does for thousands of businesses globally—​making them heroes.

We’re here to make that a reality every day. It’s our ​mission: empowering every business to become a real ​force for good.
