Editor’s note: Daniela De Marco is the Director of Marketing at ecojot, the folks that helped us bring you our exclusive City Prints<\/a> by artist Carolyn Gavin. In this guest post, Daniela explains what it means to be a B Corp and how B Corps can work together to “B the Change”<\/a> that they want to see in the world. <\/em><\/p>\n

\"San<\/a><\/p>\n

First, you may be thinking what are B Corps<\/a>? \u201cB Corps are certified by the non-profit B Lab<\/a> to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.\u201d That means that B Corps are assessed for their impact on the environment, workers, customers, community and governance. When we here at ecojot <\/a>joined the Certified B Corporation<\/a> community in 2011 we knew that we weren\u2019t just validating our good business practices. We were spreading the word to inspire other businesses and people to follow the lead in redefining success in business.<\/p>\n

\"B<\/p>\n

As a B Corp we are rigorously assessed for our better businesses practices. Whether it\u2019s ensuring we live up to our GIVE Program initiatives<\/a>, making our products locally, keeping them green, or treating our employees respectfully. B Corporation is not just another certification to stamp on our products. Instead, it\u2019s a movement for change, to make better choices when it comes to business, people, and our environment.<\/p>\n

Best of all, special things happen when you\u2019re a B Corp. We are automatically part of a movement that is changing the way business operates for the better. We get opportunities to discover and collaborate across nations with like-minded businesses that may not have been possible. With these collaborations we are spreading the word even further.<\/p>\n
