In becoming Certified B Corporations, businesses sign on to the Declaration of Interdependence—the guiding tenets for using business as a force for good. By acknowledging that we all are dependent on each other and responsible for ourselves and future generations, B Corps pledge to consider people and planet as well as profit in their business operations.
This month on B the Change, we’re sharing examples of interdependence and its importance to the B Economy. Learn more in our B the Change Weekly Friday newsletter, and on our B Corporation Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram channels.
