February is B Corp Month
(posted: February 4th, 2019)
February is B Corp Month!
Celebrate B Corp Month by learning a bit about the certification, and choosing to support (or become!) a B Corp.
What is a B Corp?
Society's most challenging problems cannot be solved by government and nonprofits alone. By harnessing the power of business, B Corps use profits and growth as a means to a greater end: positive impact for their employees, communities, and the environment.
Certified B Corporations are for-profit businesses using the power of the marketplace to help solve social and environmental problems. Unlike other certifications, B Corps complete a third-party-verified assessment, administered by the nonprofit B Lab, for the entire operations of the business, from how the products and services are created and deployed to how their workers are treated, and more. B Corps are reassessed every two years, as well.
