“We envision a global economy that uses business as a force for good. This economy is comprised of a new type of corporation - The B Corporation - which is purpose - driven and creates benefit for all stakeholders. As B Corporations and leaders of this emerging economy, we believe: That we must be the change we seek in the world. That all business ought to be conducted as if people and place mattered. That, through their products, practices, and profits, businesses should aspire to do no harm and benefit all. To do so requires that we act with the understanding that we are dependent upon one another and thus responsible for each other and future generations.”
