B Corporation: Setting Social and Environmental Performance Standards For Businesses
As part of Thinkhaus‘ mission we aim to educate not only our clients but also the general public about the value of design and socially conscious issues and topics. Our blog has been a part of that as we often share resources and tips with our readers and social media followers and friends.

Today, we have a wonderful resource for everyone. Our friends at Impact Makers have recommend us to the B Corporation. In return we are sharing this resource with you.

The B Corporation excites us because we believe that businesses, no matter the size, have the most impact on our culture and society. We believe this to be true because businesses are the lifeline to local and international economies, influence culture with their marketing, and remain the leaders in developing new technology. All of these issues shape our society. To shape our society for a better tomorrow we must reshape the way business is conducted in our world. The B Corporation believes that too.

B Corporation is an organization which uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems by setting comprehensive and transparent social and environmental performance standards for businesses to follow.

“By meeting these standards, we establish a benchmark which distinguishes “good companies” from “good marketing”. And we make it easier for consumers and investors to support these companies,” notes the B Corporation.

To learn about the B Corporation visit their website here. We are asking our fellow local businesses in Richmond, Virginia to meet the B Corporation standards. The local economy will then be more sustainable for the people of Richmond.
