Why join the movement
Businesses that become B Corps have seen great results: increased customer loyalty, market leadership, committed and motivated employees and higher levels of innovation.
As a movement, together, we are challenging the status quo and nurturing an economy that benefits all people, communities, and the planet. We are shifting our economic system from profiting only a few to benefiting all; from concentrating wealth and power to ensuring equity, from extraction to regeneration, and from prioritizing individualism to embracing interdependence.
