-	"B Corporations are a new type of corporation which uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems.  B Corporations are unlike traditional responsible businesses because they:	+
-		+
-	* Meet comprehensive and transparent social and environmental performance standards.	+
-		+
-	* Institutionalize stakeholder interests.	+
-		+
-	* Build collective voice though the power of a unifying brand."	+

-	"In many states, if a corporate board or officer strays from the task of maximizing shareholder wealth, they could be tried for violating the law. B-Corporations view their responsibility to all stakeholders, not just shareholders. These stakeholders include employees, vendors, and their local community and environment. The B-Corp concept is sometimes referred to as the Triple Bottom Line: people, planet, profits."	+
