still not a definition of a 'good company' If I would have to guess, OP may want to go into a non profit or a creator based company like Kickstarter or companies that have joined to be a B Corp [0] [0] https://www.bcorporation.net/en-us/ https://www.bcorporation.net/en-us/

At least one MLM-based pyramid scheme is a "B Corp". That tells you everything you need to know about "B Corps".

  at least one x is a "y" for pretty much any y you choose. that doesn't tell you much about "ys" at all.

    When the entire point of the scheme is to distinguish companies that have a positive impact on society, there should not be room for "at least one" company that scams financially-illiterate people & encourages them to swindle their friends. B Corps are bullshit and should not be seen as a sign of quality.

  then don't go to that company?

    No my point is that the whole concept of "B Corp" is bullshit if a scam company that exploits financially-illiterate people at scale can be classified as a "B Corp".

      OK, then one would just tell B Corp to remove them the list no? I don't see how this invalidates all companies on that list. What company is this anyway?

        Arbonne (https://www.arbonne.com https://www.arbonne.com) is one example and they proudly claim to be a B-Corp on their website right under the offer to join the pyramid scheme as an "independent consultant". > then one would just tell B Corp to remove them the list no This is not something that flew under the radar and can trivially be removed - the aforementioned company's business model is well known for example and despite that they became and are still a B-Corp. My point is that B-Corp is happy to accept companies whose business model preys on and profits off vulnerable, financially-illiterate people, directly contradicting their claim of certifying companies which have a "positive impact on society, workers, the community and the environment" (from Wikipedia, emphasis mine).

        There is a procedure for this: https://bimpactassessment.net/complaints-procedure https://bimpactassessment.net/complaints-procedure It seems you can get them removed and it does look like you are complaining about a company that shouldn't be a B Corp, so you could take your complaint there. Not sure if that means that all B Corps or B Corps are bad in general.
