Certified B Corporation

When you support a B Corporation, you’re supporting a better way to do business. Governments and nonprofits are necessary but insufficient to solve today’s most pressing problems. Business is the most powerful force on the planet and can be a positive instrument for change.

Our vision is simple yet ambitious: to create a new sector of the economy which uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. This sector will be comprised of a new type of corporation - the B Corporation - that meets rigorous and independent standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.  

As a result, individuals will have greater economic opportunity, society will move closer to achieving a positive environmental footprint, more people will be employed in great places to work, and we will have built stronger communities at home and across the world.

Why are B Corps necessary to achieve these goals? 

B Corporations address two critical problems:

1. Current corporate law makes it difficult for businesses to take employee, community, and environmental interests into consideration when making decisions

2. The lack of transparent standards makes it difficult to tell the difference between a 'good company' and just good marketing

To address these issues, B Corporations' legal structure expands corporate accountability so they are required to make decisions that are good for society, not just their shareholders.

B Corporations' performance standards enable consumers to support businesses that align with their values, investors to drive capital to higher impact investments, and governments and multinational corporations to implement sustainable procurement policies.  

And that's the change we seek.
