Many
business owners today think beyond profits, concerned with “doing good”
for the larger world. However, we don’t always know the right way to
set about making a material difference while also making a living. A
new type of business - the B Corp - is gaining notoriety and popularity.
How might it be a good fit for YOUR business?
B
Corps are a kind of hybrid between non-profit and “pure-profit”
businesses, seeking to use the power of capitalism to solve social and
environmental problems. B Corp certification requires a legal structure
that expands corporate accountability so B Corps are required
to make decisions that are good for society, not just their
shareholders. They set the bar for businesses seeking to have a positive
social and environmental impact, scoring 25% higher than nearly 2,000
other sustainable businesses on the rigorous B Impact Assessment.

Learn from John: 1) What is Social Entrepreneurship? 2) Why Are Social Ventures Pertinent in Today’s Business Environment? 3) What lessons from BWB can inform other businesses?
