"Patagonia, a large apparel manufacturer based in Ventura, California, has organized itself as a 'B-corporation.' That's a for-profit company whose articles of incorporation require it to take into account the interests of workers, the community, and the environment, as well as shareholders....To date, over 500 companies in sixty industries have been certified as B-corporations....In addition, 27 states have passed laws allowing companies to incorporate as 'benefit corporations.'...We may be witnessing the beginning of a return to a form of capitalism that was taken for granted in America sixty years ago." Robert B. Reich in The Huffington Post.
