Editor's Notes

  • #5 A Real Brick and Mortar Location, built right here in our community
  • #7 Create general benefit for society as well as for shareholders. Benefit corporations must create a material positive impact on society, and consider how their decisions affect their employees, community, and the environment. Moreover, we must publicly report on oursocial and environmental performances using established third-party standards
  • #8 A quick look at the landing page and payment processing options
  • #9 What we have completed from the start to the end of this event
  • #11 By definition a benefit corporation looks to be collaborative not competitive. Impact investment, committed to thesocial purpose and the ROI
