Fortunately there are alternatives: #Non-Profit Organizations (NPO, NGO, etc) and other benefit-oriented enterprises like worker #cooperatives, Employee Owned (EO) or #B-Corps. Whereas modern corporations have few rules constraining them, the Alts have explicit benefits as their sole mission.

B Corps Are One Piece of a Complex Puzzle

“We needed a differentiator, ” says SSG’s Emi Do. “And unfortunately, our status as a worker co-op doesn’t communicate to the municipalities and regions and states that are reviewing our proposals what our values are and how we are unique in our approach to doing business, and so we needed to have something that demonstrated that.”

Has anybody ever seen (or made?) a list of the types of #impact related ventures or #socialenterprise: #stewardship, #zebras, #cooperatives, #bcorps, #benefit etc. There are many more. I am looking ideally for an international list that considers jurisdiction. And isn't selling one type but simply compares or lists them.

Surely this list must exist? Please tag people who know this stuff. Thanks!

Many amazing members of the .eco community are also #BCorp certified: https://profiles.eco/profile/certification/b-corporation. And .eco is soon to join the ranks of these great #BCorps. We hope to complete our recertification before the end of the year.
