Renewal2 is thrilled to now be a certified B Corporation!
B Corporations are a new kind of company which uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. Certified B Corporations 1) meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance; 2) legally expand their corporate responsibilities to include consideration of stakeholder interests; and 3) build collective voice through the power of the unifying B Corporation brand. Longer term we hope this will lead to a legally recognized new corporate form (like a C corp. or an S corp.) and tax incentives, procurement preferences, and a social stock exchange for sustainable businesses.
As of February 2010, there are over 280 certified B Corporations from over 50 industries, representing a diverse multi-billion marketplace.
