What are B Corporations?

B Corporations are a new type of corporation which uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems.  B Corporations are unlike traditional responsible businesses because they:

  • Meet comprehensive and transparent social and environmental performance standards.
  • Institutionalize stakeholder interests.
  • Build collective voice through the power of a unifying brand.

What are the Benefits of Becoming a B Corporation?

As a B Corporation, you differentiate your business from the growing barrage of green- and cause-marketing campaigns and stand out as a leader in the market, creating a clear path for others to follow. You also embed your values into your corporate governing documents so they can survive new investors, new management and even new ownership.

As the B Corporation community grows, your company will benefit from the:

  • Billions of dollars of collective market presence created by thousands of B Corporations speaking with one powerful voice.
  • Millions of dollars spent each year promoting B Corporations through B Lab, a non-profit organization.

When you join the B Corporation community, you gain access to:

  • Resources and information to improve your company’s social and environmental performance.
  • A community of fellow entrepreneurs who share best practices; consumers looking to support “good companies”; and investors aligned with your company’s mission.

  • Second, amend your corporate governing documents to incorporate the interests of employees, community and the environment.
  • By institutionalizing your values, you make it more likely that those values will survive new investors, new management, and even, someday, new owners. more »
