18. In the years ahead, acceleration in the scope, scale, and
economic impact of technology will usher in a new age of
artificial intelligence, consumer gadgetry, instant communication,
and boundless information while shaking up business in
unimaginable ways.
McKinsey & Company - September 2014
At the same time, the shifting locus of economic activity and
dynamism, to emerging markets and to cities within those
markets, will give rise to a new class of global competitors.
Growth in emerging markets will occur in tandem with the rapid
ageing of the world’s population—first in the West and later in
the emerging markets themselves—that in turn will create a
massive set of economic strains.

23. We envision a new sector of the economy
which harnesses the power of private enterprise to create public benefit.
This sector is comprised of a new type of corporation —the B Corporation
— which is purpose-driven, and creates benefit for all stakeholders, not just
shareholders.
As members of this emerging sector and as entrepreneurs and investors in B
Corporations,
We hold these truths to be self-evident:
That we must be the change we seek in the world.
That all business ought to be conducted as if people and place mattered.
That, through their products, practices and profits, businesses should aspire
to do no harm and benefit all.
To do so, requires that we act with the understanding that we are each
dependent upon another and thus responsible for each other and future
generations.
B Corporations - Declaration of Interdependence
24. Choose people over machines
B Corporation behaviours
Trade with other B Corporations
Consistently consider the social consequences of change
Ensure that all stakeholders have a ‘voice’ in the company
Consider the impact of change on the environment
Are increasingly attracting partners and customers who
share their values and their beliefs
