The B Corp Handbook: How to Use Business as a Force for Good

More than 1,000 companies from 80 industries and 35 countries are leading a global movement to redefine success in business. They’re called B Corporations–B Corps for short–and these businesses create high quality jobs, help build stronger communities, and restore the environment, all while generating solid financial returns.

Author and B Corp owner Ryan Honeyman worked closely with over 100 B Corp CEOs and senior executives to share their tips, advice, and best practice ideas for how to build a better business, and how to meet the rigorous standards for–and enjoy the benefits of–B Corp certification.

This book makes the business case for improving your social and environmental performance, and offers a step-by-step “quick start guide” on how your company can join an innovative and rapidly expanding community of businesses that want to make money and make a difference.

Review

“You ought to take a look at these B Corporations… we’ve got to get back to a society that doesn’t give one class of stakeholders an inordinate advantage over others.”

—President Bill Clinton

“The B Corp Handbook shows how using business as a force for good, not just pursuing short-term profits, can be better for consumers, employees, local communities, the environment, AND your company’s long-term bottom line.”

—Tony Hsieh, New York Times bestselling author of Delivering Happiness and CEO of Zappos.com, Inc.

“B Corporations recast the goals of the traditional business enterprise. They are becoming more prevalent as a new breed of businessperson seeks purpose with the fervor that traditional economic theory says entrepreneurs seek profit.”

—Daniel Pink, New York Times bestselling author of To Sell Is Human and Drive
