Here are a few reasons why B Corps are particularly exciting organizations to work for. We’re home to more Certified B Corporations, per capita, than anywhere else in the world. The B Corp movement is particularly strong here in the Pacific Northwest. They range from small businesses, like our team at Mac’s List, to large multinational enterprises, like Patagonia, Unilever, and Danone. Pretty cool, right?ī Corps also vary widely in industry, mission, and size. B Corps are independently certified and held accountable to the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability.

The social mission isn’t just a side project or a marketing gimmick.

They are designed and run to maximize a triple bottom line: profit is still a motive but B Corps are equally driven to improve social and environmental conditions where they operate. In short, B Corps are for-profit organizations using business as a force for social good.ī Corps are unique, hybrid businesses that combine the entrepreneurial spirit of a for-profit venture with a strong social mission. An increasing number of organizations are becoming B Corps, creating huge career opportunities for socially-minded professionals. It’s a relatively new type of business certification, started in 2006. If you’ve never heard of a B Corp, that’s okay. Let me tell you more about what B Corps are all about, and why they can be great places to build your career. Full disclosure: Mac’s List is a Certified B Corporation and very proud of it. For instance, you can work for a Certified B Corporation, or a B Corp for short.ī Corps are a cool hybrid in the business community, and offer a unique opportunity to grow your career and make a difference. However, there are more options for people who want a socially impactful career that you may not know about.

Nonprofits are mission-driven, and offer that chance to make a difference. This desire for meaningful work steers many people into the nonprofit sector. (We all have bills to pay!) But more fundamentally, people want work that matters. When I ask job seekers what kind of work they are looking for, I often get variations of the same answer: “I want a job that means something.”
