Make Business a Force For Good








I often wonder to what extent business can help society in its goals and alleviate poverty, preserve ecosystems, and build strong communities and institutions... B Lab has proven that there is a way.

The B Corp movement is one of the most important of our lifetime, built on the simple fact that business impacts and serves more than just shareholders — it has an equal responsibility to the community and to the planet.

In this increasingly complex world, big brands and companies are fundamentally challenged as to whose interests they really serve... This is where we found B Lab accreditation a great way to express our long-time commitment for dual economic and social progress, through our ambition to support people's adoption of healthier and more sustainable eating and drinking practices.

What would a company look like if citizens, not shareholders, were the focus? . . .The most prominent alternative is the legal designation of ‘benefit corporations’ and the closely allied B Corporation Certification.
