Looking for socially & environmentally responsible companies?

Filed under: Uncategorized

Looking for socially & environmentally responsible companies? Check out Business Week’s listing of B Corporations. A Certified B Corporation is one which is socially and environmentally responsible. As defined on the site, the B Corporation Net, (http://bcorporation.net), a B Corp “uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems”. It is part of “a new sector of the economy which harnesses the power of private enterprise for public benefit”. Examples of certified B Corporations are: King Arthur Flour (an employee-owned, open-book, team-managed company), Seventh Generation (a company committed to “becoming the world’s most trusted brand of authentic, safe, and environmentally-responsible products for a healthy home”), and Sustainable Harvest (one of the highest volume importers of organic & fair trade coffee in North America).
