How the B Corp movement is remaking business

B Corporation

After a summer where two new B Corps went public, a new book outlines the growth of the responsible capitalism certification movement.

There are now more than 3,500 B Corps 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 “legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.” B-Corps-to-be must pass a 200-question assessment that judges performance across five impact areas: governance, the environment, workers, customers, and community.
