Ditto 101: B Corporation Feature
We are proud to announce that B Corporation featured GreenHeart Global on its June blog for its committment to social and environmental responsibility. In Think Out of the Box, Get Out of the Landfill: Better Know Greenheart Global, B Corp discusses the environmental success of GHG company, Ditto Hangers (also a certified B Corporation). The sotry discusses how Ditto has developed processes that enhance a product’s life-cycle from design to production to consumption to disposal; thereby reducing landfill usage, conserving the earth’s natural resources, and leaving the consumer with better purchasing options. All we can say is check the story out…. And the hangers too!
Many of you are probably wondering, “What is a B Corporation?” or “How is it any different from the traditional corporation?” Well, I must begin by say that all B Corporation certifications require all organizations or businesses to be legal corporations prior to approval. Therefore, B Corporations are conditionary certifications and are not necessary to be a “corporation.” Then what’s the point? Nevertheless, B Corps are truly committed to social responsibility and uphold the value of all of the stakeholders: the organization (management and staff), the community, and the environment. Yes, financial reports still have a signfiicant role in the organizations, but too many times traditional corporations allow their financial obligations override their moral obligations, leaving those without decision power vulnerable. A “B Corporation” certification ensures that the participating organizations and businesses follow through with ethical practices that promote global sustainability, enviromentally and sustainably. We are proud to say that GreenHeart Global and Ditto Hangers are pillars of that committment.
