Thanks to CircleUp for this great piece in +Inc. Magazine on why they're starting a new #BCorp  fund and think the days of choosing between impact and return are over! #BtheChange
Companies have a lot to gain by focusing on both profit and impact.

David Brooks of the New York Times thinks #BCorps  are a perfect example of creative synthesis! What do you think? #BtheChange
Creative tension between people and within individuals is fundamental to social evolution.

The rise of B Corps is a reminder that the idea that corporations should be only lean, mean, profit-maximizing machines isn’t dictated by the inherent nature of capitalism, let alone by human nature." - stellar profile of the #BCorp   movement in The New Yorker. Look for it in print on newsstands today! #BtheChange

The Official G+ Page of B Corporations, companies using the power of business as a force for good.
Introduction
This rapidly growing movement currently encompasses more than 1,000 B Corps across 60 industries and over 30 nations around the world. B Corps use the power of business to solve social and environmental problems.

B Lab, the nonprofit serving B Corps, operates 3 interrelated initiatives to support these entrepreneurs in the road to a new economy. In addition to certifying B Corps to meet rigorous standards, B Lab operates GIIRS, a ratings agency and analytics platform for impact investors, and also works to pass legislation for new corporate form. To date, 23 states and the District of Columbia have passed Benefit Corp Legislation into law.
