Benefit Corporations, Open Source & the Drupal Community

The Drupal community has been built on the idea that open source communities can Do Well and Do Good, and it is amazing to see all the great initiatives that we have been involved in as a community.

The Benefit Corporations are a movement of companies that also believe that it is possible to Do Well While Doing Good.

There are several Drupal shops that have already made the transition to being BCorps. Lev Tsypin, ThinkShout & Mike Gifford, OpenConcept will be presenting some of the reasons why they chose to adopt this model and how it affects their business.

With more organizations concerned about their environmental footprint, can the BCorps Impact Assessment be a useful tool to help companies have better control over their carbon footprints?  As an industry, what can we do together to reduce our impact.

As Drupal shops we are always struggling to get and keep the right team. Can the model presented by BCorps be useful to help retain teams, increase staff satisfaction and improve performance?
