At Dumbo Feather, we look for people doing extraordinary things to make the world better than when they found it. A lot of the time, those people create businesses as a force for good, much like the ones featured below. We’ve created this directory of B Corps to highlight just some of the goods and services out there that are committed to social and environmental return along with making a buck. We encourage you to support them, and discover just how much better it is when you buy B.
B Lab is currently advocating for legislative change to introduce the “Benefit Company”—a framework providing directors with clarity and certainty to confidently pursue social and environmental purpose in business decision making. The hope is that this legal framework will help encourage more businesses to operate in a conscious, connected and responsible way. Head to www.benefitcompany.org to pledge your support.
