Challenging the paradigm that 'doing well' and 'doing good' are mutually exclusive: exploring B Corps and Benefit Corporation legislation.
Focus:
A multitude of factors, including unprecedented levels of transparency and mounting evidence that sustainability is essential to long-term corporate success and profitability, are encouraging corporations to adopt business models that incorporate responsibility, sustainable business practices, and equitable operations and to consider all stakeholders with vested interests including shareholders, employees, consumers, the environment, and local communities. Leading this movement is business electing to be held accountable to all stakeholders by certifying as B Corps and/or incorporating under a benefit corporation legislation model.
