Evolution of capitalism


Limits of the architecture

Our current capitalist system wasn’t designed for this

• Current corporate law works against sustainability and social impact

• No standards to distinguish ‘good companies’ from good marketing


Key Provisions:

Purpose

• to create material positive impact on society and the environment

Accountability

• directors and officers shall consider effect of decisions on stakeholders

Transparency

• publish annual report in accordance with a third party standard

Benefit Corporation Legislation

“The most original , constructive thought in corporate governance in 25 years.”

Former President, American Bar Association


Benefit Corporation Legislation
