"The B Corp Handbook shows how using business as a force for good,
not just pursuing short-term profits, can be better for consumers,
employees, local communities, the environment, and your company's
long-term bottom line."
--Tony Hsieh, New York Times bestselling author of Delivering
Happiness and CEO, Zappos.com, Inc. "B Corporations recast the
goals of the traditional business enterprise. They are becoming
more prevalent as a new breed of businessperson seeks purpose with
the fervor with which traditional economic theory says
entrepreneurs seek profit."
--Daniel Pink, New York Times bestselling author of To Sell Is
Human and Drive "The B Corp Handbook proves that any company can be
pro-community, pro-business, and pro-environment--at the same time.
Ryan shows that there does not have to be any trade-off between
being profitable and creating positive social change."
--Suzanne DiBianca, President, Salesforce.com Foundation "I think B
Corporations will make more profits than other types of
companies."
--Robert Shiller, winner of the 2013 Nobel Prize in Economics and
Professor, Yale University "I hope that five years from now, ten
years from now, we'll look back and say B Corporations were the
start of the revolution. The existing paradigm isn't working
anymore--this is the future."
--Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia "The B Corp Handbook offers
a positive, market-based, and scalable solution to our greatest
challenges."
--Marshall Goldsmith, New York Times bestselling author of What Got
You Here Won't Get You There "A must-read for every for-profit
enterprise that aims to create social impact."
--Cathy Clark, Adjunct Professor, Center for the Advancement of
Social Enterprise, and Director, CASE i3 Initiative on Impact
Investing, Duke University's Fuqua School of Business
