harnesses the power of private enterprise to create public benefit.
This sector, sitting between the for-profit and non-profit sectors, is
comprised of a new type of corporation – the B corporation. B
corporations are unlike traditional responsible businesses because they
1) institutionalize stakeholder interests; and 2) meet comprehensive
and transparent social and environmental performance standards. The
mission of B Lab, a non-profit organization, is to support B
corporations and this emerging sector by 1) developing and
disseminating a legal framework to institutionalize stakeholder
interests within existing corporate law; 2) certifying and rating B
corporations; and 3) creating and promoting a powerful unifying brand. By
becoming a B corporation, entrepreneurs can 1) stand out as leaders; 2)
grow and create liquidity without compromising their values; and 3)
differentiate their business through billions of dollars of collective
market presence and millions of dollars of marketing spent by B Lab
promoting B corporations as distinct, and meaningful. For more information, please email jay@bcorporation.net
