Coro Strandberg, president of Strandberg Consulting and co-founder of the Social Purpose Institute at United Way, tells us about social purpose businesses who are aiming higher than just profit maximization. Joyce Sou, director for business development at B Lab U.S. & Canada, tells us about the rigorous B Corp certification that helps separate true sustainability leaders from companies who are just paying lip service to the idea.
