While customers are vital for all businesses, companies that take a holistic view of economic success realize they must consider other stakeholders in their decision-making process. For Certified B Corporations, these stakeholders include customers, workers, community and environment.
This month B the Change is focusing on how B Corps empower their workers—and vice versa. We start with a focus on employee-owned businesses, which a new report shows outperform conventionally owned firms in overall environmental and social impact.
Read more about the report and other B Corp highlights on B the Change, in our B the Change Weekly Friday newsletter, and on our B Corporation Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram channels.
