B Corps (Benefit Corporations) are certified businesses that strive to act in ways that benefit society as a whole. B Corps share a belief that the purpose of a company is not just profits, but also social and environmental good. They are legally required to consider their impact on all of their stakeholders, not only shareholders and have committed to publicly reporting their impacts. There is a growing number of B Corps worldwide and in Canada. The number of B Corps in Alberta is still relatively small, but growing.
