Enharmonic Encounters is a proud Certified B Corporation!
B Certification has become one of the greatest mechanisms in today's for-profit business world for a company to demonstrate its commitment to society and the environment in its operations, to use business as a force for good. It is meant to transform the way business is done, shifting the mindset away from Milton Friedman's shareholder primacy theory–in which the purpose of a company is solely to maximize profits for those who own a stake in the company–toward an approach that considers people and the planet as equal stakeholders alongside profits.
Often cited as "stakeholder capitalism," this amplified consideration seeps ever deeper into the values of consumers and investors alike, as the world awakens to the urgency of tackling consequential challenges such as the struggle for human rights and climate change. Companies are being taken to task on this mindset and need to take action to keep pace with how society is evolving.
For these reasons, B Lab, a non-profit organization based in Pennsylvania, was founded in 2007. Organizing and initiating what is now the Movement of Certified B Corporations, B Lab is the sole certifying entity and granter of the B Certification. You may recognize some of the biggest names in the Movement such as Ben & Jerry's, Danone, Natura, Patagonia, Toms, etc.
Being a Certified B Corporation offers a wide host of advantages, to name a few:
