Business Leaders, What Will Be Your Legacy?

Society’s most urgent global problems cannot be solved by government and non-profits alone. The role of business is crucial.

B Corps are a new kind of business building an inclusive and sustainable economy that works for all. By balancing profit and purpose, B Corps create a positive impact for their employees, communities, and the environment. Will you join a community of leaders who are reinventing business?

Has watching that video got you thinking? Could you harness the power of business to operate beyond profit and benefit all stakeholders? What does a new system look like and what will be your contribution?

We are at the early stages of one of the most important changes of our lifetime: the rise of people using business as a force for good who are working together to create a shared and durable prosperity for all.

Certified B Corps meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.

B Corp certification doesn’t just prove where your company excels now — it commits you to consider your impact on stakeholders now, and in the future, by building it into your company’s legal structure.

B Corp is much more than a certification. We are joining and adding momentum to an important movement, one that wants to shift the image of business from greed to good”
