Why Become a B Corp?

  • Differentiate from pretenders

  • Generate awareness of endeavors

  • Attract and engage team members

  • Get recognized among other businesses doing good

  • Build credibility by benchmarking performance

  • Access member services and discounts

  • Save resources

  • Find and work with like-minded peers

  • Reach potential investors, partners, and collaborators

  • Galvanize trust among customers/consumers/clients

  • Protect your company’s mission

  • Help lead a global movement

What is a B Corp?

communities, and the planet

From The Founder

If you care about pollution, fair labor, and general fairness; if you believe that a business is not really good unless they truly care about their customers and are willing to be transparent to prove it; if you want to support the greater good when you make purchases but can’t easily discern responsible businesses from those with clever marketing; then you’ve been looking for B Corps. B Corps ensure corporate responsibility and transparency through a rigorous certification process to help you know with whom you are doing business. Salt Palm and its affiliates seek first to do business with like-minded partners including fellow Certified B Corps and benefit corporations.
