B Corp just hit 10,000 certified companies. I remember when we hit 1,000. A decade ago. Back when it still felt like a rebellious idea - a new kind of rulebook for business. Now, we’re 10x bigger. We represent: - 103 countries - 160 industries - 1 million+ workers - 1 shared goal: use business as a force for good This isn’t just a milestone. It’s a moment. One that makes you pause and ask: What kind of business are we building? What kind of world are we shaping? The B Corp framework gave us language. Standards. A regenerative lens to see beyond profits - to consider the inputs, the outputs, and the ripples businesses leave behind. It’s not perfect. But it’s solid ground. And we need solid ground. At Decade Impact, we’ve guided 150+ full certifications since 2020. That means we’ve had a front-row seat to bold leaders making hard decisions. Changing how they hire, how they source, how they show up in their communities. People choosing purpose knowing it’s harder. And doing it anyway. This work isn't easy. It was never meant to be. But 20 years ago, business needed new rules - and that’s still true today. Maybe more than ever. The stakes are higher. The systems are cracking. And still - we build. We support the leaders who want their company to matter. We believe a better kind of business is possible. Not just less bad. Regenerative. Restorative. Brave. If you work at a B Corp - dig in. Learn what it actually means. Be proud, but don’t get comfortable. If you’re B-Curious - know this: the journey will change your business. It will change you. It’s not a checkbox. It’s a compass. B Corp isn’t a certification. It’s a movement. And we’re just getting started. We are many. Let’s go. #BCorp #BusinessAsAForceForGood #PurposeBusiness #MovementBuilding
