For those who haven’t heard of B Corps, they are specially certified mission-driven corporations committed to doing good while making a profit.
\nIt is exciting to see them growing in popularity to say the least.<\/p>\n
“There are now more than 3,500 B Corporations in the world. These are companies that have been officially certified by nonprofit B Lab, for their commitment to not only pledging, but concretely showing, environmentally and socially beneficial business practices, public transparency, and the \u201clegal accountability to balance profit and purpose.\u201d B-Corps-to-be must pass a 200-question assessment that judges performance across five impact areas: governance, the environment, workers, customers, and community.<\/p>\n
Christopher Marquis, a professor of sustainable global enterprise at Cornell University, started research for his new book, about the ongoing vitality of the B Corporation ethos, in 2017, but it\u2019s during the past summer that he\u2019s seen the B Corporation movement picking up some serious speed. In the last few months, two B Corporations have gone public, and six large, multinational companies have begun the journey to qualifying for B Corporation status. \u201cThis summer really indicates a sea change, in some ways, in the movement,\u201d Marquis says.”<\/p>\n
