| |
| | |
| "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 though the power of a unifying brand."

| =Description=
| |
| | |
| "In many states, if a corporate board or officer strays from the task of maximizing shareholder wealth, they could be tried for violating the law. B-Corporations view their responsibility to all stakeholders, not just shareholders. These stakeholders include employees, vendors, and their local community and environment. The B-Corp concept is sometimes referred to as the Triple Bottom Line: people, planet, profits."
