Certified B Corporations address social and environmental issues through the power of business. Currently 454 companies have met rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency and earned certification. Why does certification exist? Why do companies get certified? From the B Corp website:
“B Corporations’ performance standards enable consumers to support businesses that align with their values, investors to drive capital to higher impact investments, and governments and multinational corporations to implement sustainable procurement policies.”
Are you part of a B Corp? Do you do business with any B Corps? 30 of the 454 are located in Oregon. Not too shabby. Two are here in Leftbank. FMYI and Blue Tree Strategies have both been part of this place from nearly the beginning. Obviously passionate about their work and pushing the B Corp agenda, they’re working together to spread the word. Check it out.
