LIFT Economy is an impact consulting firm whose mission is to create, model, and share a locally self-reliant and inclusive economy that works for the benefit of all life. Our clients include companies like Patagonia, Ben & Jerry's, Allbirds, Native American Natural Foods, Red Bay Coffee, World Centric, and 200+ other social enterprises. We help our clients grow their businesses, certify and/or recertify as a B Corp, integrate the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion more deeply into the company, raise mission-aligned capital, increase their organization's social and environmental impact, and more. Members of our team literally helped "write the book" on B Corps (i.e., "The B Corp Handbook: How You Can Use Business as a Force for Good," Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2019). We also created the "Next Economy MBA" (www.lifteconomy.com/mba) an online business education that has been completely redesigned to benefit all life.
