Begs the question(s): What is the value of a B Corp? Can multinational companies wear this badge? Can it be both zero and one? Is institutionalization the way forward? It most certainly has our attention. That’s always a good thing.
As the B Corp movement continues to mature, navigating the tensions between growth and purity of standards remains a central question. This article does a great job of laying out the paradoxes in the current movement from a research lens.

🟢‼️Unveiling the corrosive nature of greed exposes its true harm. It’s a relentless force that corrodes ethics, compassion, and the very essence of humanity. Behind every greedy act lies a path of shattered trust, exploited resources, and silenced voices. As we scrutinize corporate responsibility, we must confront the pervasive issue of greenwashing. This deceptive tactic masks ulterior motives, using surface-level sustainability gestures to conceal ongoing exploitation and greed. This betrayal not only harms the environment but also undermines genuine sustainability efforts. Let’s not merely condemn greed and greenwashing but uproot their foundations, fostering a culture of abundance, equity, and collective prosperity. Our shared future hinges on accountability, authenticity, and meaningful action. 🌿🌍 #UprootGreed #AuthenticityMatters #SustainablyTogether

"By creating a powerful incentive to prioritize nature over short-term gain, the recognition of ecocide as a crime has the potential to transform the way in which business is conducted. Holding decision-makers accountable for the most extreme forms of environmental harm can spark a market shift toward favoring stewardship of our natural world." "#Ecocide law not only addresses the unsustainable nature of 21st century capitalism, but also moves toward a future where business and nature need not be at odds. This paradigm shift is more than an aspiration — it is a realistic and necessary step toward ensuring long-term prosperity and wellbeing for our planet and future generations." https://lnkd.in/ezmfJyam
