About The B Corp Handbook, Second Edition: How You Can

Product Description "The B Corp Handbook shows that an economic agenda that serves people's needs while respecting planetary boundaries is compatible with, and ultimately even necessary for, financial success."    -Paul Polman, CEO, Unilever   B Corps are a global movement of more than 3,300 companies in 70 countries--like Patagonia, Ben & Jerry's, Kickstarter, Danone North America, and Eileen Fisher--that are using the power of business as a force for good. B Corps have been certified to have met rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.    This book--winner of an Independent Book Publisher's Association IPPY Award as one of the best business books of 2020--is the authoritative guide to the what, why, and how of B Corp certification. Coauthors Ryan Honeyman and Dr. Tiffany Jana spoke with the leaders of over 200 B Corps from around the world to get their insights on becoming a Certified B Corp, improving their social and environmental performance, and building a more inclusive economy. The second edition has been completely revised and updated to include a much stronger focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). These changes are important because DEI can no longer be a side conversation--it must be a core value for any company that aspires to make money and make a difference. While this book is framed around the B Corp movement, any company, regardless of size, industry, or location, can use the tools contained here to learn how to build a better business. As the authors vividly demonstrate, using business as a force for good can help you attract and retain the best talent, distinguish your company in a crowded market, and increase trust in your brand.

We joined the B Corp movement because we are convinced that addressing this challenge directly is the best way to reinforce trust with our stakeholders.” — Emmanuel Faber, CEO, Danone “The B Corp principles of social, environmental, and economic justice are deeply aligned with the mission and core values of our worker-owned cooperative.” — Adria Powell, CEO, Cooperative Home Care Associates "Our holistic vision for the company centers around our clothing, mindful business practices, and supporting every employee's purpose. Being a B Corp allows us to fulfill our purpose in a bold way with other like-minded companies. The B Corp Handbook serves as a guide for using business as a force for good. " — Eileen Fisher, Founder and President, EILEEN FISHER “I hope that five years from now, ten years from now, we’ll look back and say B Corporations were the start of the revolution. The existing paradigm isn’t working anymore--this is the future.” — Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia   “ The B Corp Handbook provides an essential teaching resource in preparing the next generation of business leaders to build a more sustainable and inclusive economy.” — Jessica Thomas, Director, Business Sustainability Collaborative, North Carolina State University   “We became a Certified B Corp because it closely aligns with our purpose-driven business model of community reinvestment, entrepreneurship, women’s empowerment, education, and wellness.” — Emmet Dennis, Chief Marketing Officer, Sundial Brands “The second edition of The B Corp Handbook goes beyond the first edition by helping companies make progress on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
