We committed to the process of becoming a B Corp because - in addition to agreeing with the tenants of the B Corp framework - we saw B Lab as a credible organization that was gaining national momentum and we because saw B Corp certification as a way for us to gain additional recognition for how we manage our company and the good work that we do.
The Change We Seek®
We believe in the power of free market capitalism as a competitive system that benefits innovative companies like BIS who work harder to deliver the highest quality products, services and support - And we see the B-Corp framework as an important and complementary force within this system for encouraging companies to consider the broader set of factors that fosters long-term profitability over myopic profit. We are excited to join the rapidly growing community of like-minded companies that is B-Corp, and through our continued success, we look forward to inspiring other companies to join us in committing to a triple bottom-line that includes consideration for the environment, employees, and other organizational stakeholders.
What makes us a better company?
