Business doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Every company is part of a web of relationships—with workers, communities, customers, suppliers, and the planet. B Corps recognize this interdependence and commit to a different way of doing business—one that balances profit with purpose. That’s why every #BCorp signs the Declaration of Interdependence and makes legal changes to ensure their mission stays protected, no matter what. 🔗 Swipe through for a breakdown of the Declaration, or read it in full here: https://lnkd.in/gh-Kmp5Z How does interdependence show up in your work or personal life? Let’s talk in the comments! ✍🏻 #StakeholderGovernance #BetterBusiness #Interdependence
