Why would anyone want to become B-Corp certified? What is the process/who do you contact about becoming a B-Corp in Canada/North America? What is the history of creating the organization we know today as B-Lab? Who were the champions of this 'benefit corp' movement? Why did it start? What is Rachel's advice for people who want to begin playing a role, and starting to take their first step in the realm of social impact or becoming a benefit corporation?   Want to know where to begin? sandboxcentre.com/sandblogx/ will put you on the right path. For anyone who wants to get in contact or learn more about B-Lab, check out bcorporation.net.
