Consider expanding your idea of success: become a B corporation

Converting your business to a B corporations (benefit corporation) officially acknowledges that you include social and environmental factors in your definition of success. B corporations have been legally recognized in most states. Becoming a B corporation requires filing a form with the Secretary of State, which changes your incorporation papers. With this change, you are notifying your shareholders that the company will be making decisions according to a triple bottom-line. Forming a B corporation requires an annual fee, which is used to audit or visit companies periodically to make sure their actions match their intent. Note: Converting to a B corporation does not affect your corporate tax status (S or C).
