WorkSavvy LLC is a B Corporation

WorkSavvy, the Startup Owl’s company is proud to be a Certified B Corporation™. We are a founder B Corp and have just been recertified.

B Corporations are a new kind of company which uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems.

In a little over a year, there are already over 250 Certified B Corporations from over 30 industries, representing $1 billion in collective revenues and $6.5 billion in capital under management.

Certified B Corporations meet higher standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.

It’s like a LEED certification, but for a business, not just a building (or Fair Trade certification, but for a business, not just a bag of coffee).

The performance standards are comprehensive and transparent.  They measure a company’s impact on its employees, suppliers, community, and the environmental.
Unlike traditional corporations, Certified B Corporations are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on their employees, suppliers, community, consumers, and environment.

Long term this will lead to a legally recognized new corporate form (like a C corp or an S corp) and tax incentives, procurement preferences, and a social stock exchange for sustainable businesses. A Benefit Corporation form now exists in Maryland and will shortly also exist in Vermont, with other States following hard on the heels of these two States. B Corps are being certified in other countries outside the US.
