From the Community of Certified B Corporations

B Corps redefine success in business. B Corps compete not only to be the best in the world,
but also to be the best for the world.

There are already more than 500 Certified B Corporations from more than 60 industries and 40 states that meet rigorous and independent standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.

Seven Governors, both Republican and Democrat, have signed legislation into
law, recognizing that we need a new kind of corporation that enables business leaders like those pictured below to create a a new economy that is more inclusive and sustainable.

The Founder of Patagonia Yvon Chouinard said it well on the importance of this new type of corporation: "I hope that five years from now, ten years from now, we'll look back and say this was the start of the revolution. The existing paradigm isn't working anymore-this is the future."

Check out the photo essay from Daily KOS ' The Start of the Revolution'.

Welcoming business leaders like Greyston Bakery gathered to register as this new kind of corporation, long-time New York State Speaker of the House Sheldon Silver said, “This is indeed a wonderful day for social justice in the great State of New York. Today, we give businesses the freedom to pursue the worthiest of goals.”
