Operating a business as a force for good—by considering all stakeholders—provides opportunities to create value beyond profit, but it also presents unique challenges. After navigating these challenges and using them to strengthen their businesses, leaders of Certified B Corporations have valuable lessons to share with others at purpose-driven companies.
