Has anybody ever seen (or made?) a list of the types of #impact related ventures or #socialenterprise: #stewardship, #zebras, #cooperatives, #bcorps, #benefit etc. There are many more. I am looking ideally for an international list that considers jurisdiction. And isn't selling one type but simply compares or lists them.
Surely this list must exist? Please tag people who know this stuff. Thanks!

Very surprised Ken Jennings on #Jeopardy did not hear of “conscious capitalism.” Companies concerned about more than shareholders was a “science fiction possibility,” he said laughing. While some do use this label to cover up standard corporate callousness, many are sincere. Examples are #bcorps that agree to a code of worker and environmental practices. And yes, being a #woke business is good for the bottom line.

@rik @RD4Anarchy agreeded, That is where full cost accounting would help.
also there is an attempt at addressing that here in the #colonies with #Bcorps instead of #Ccorp in the tax code but we dont hear much about it. -

Yikes. It is getting twisty.
I'm not a fan of the B-corp idea anyway bevause it accepts unfair fights. All companies should be accountable to stakeholders, including the environment, not just to shareholders. If only certain companies do this, their competitors have a market advantage so the odds of B-corp survival are poor. If it's a successful market strategy to care about the environment you don't need to be a B-corp to do it.
As I read it, a B-corp is authorization to spend, even lose, shareholder money doing good for the world and not have your stockholders sue you for breach of fiduciary duty. Indeed I'd think they should be able to sue you for not doing well by the social benefit promises you've made.
However here I see FT characterizing it as a "movement" as including "thousands of companies around the world who are certified as 'a force for good'.' This does not mesh with my understanding of their role.
Wikipefia says of B-corps that they
Include "positive impact on society, workers, the community and the environment in addition to profit as its legally defined goals, in that the definition of "best interest of the corporation" is specified to include those impacts".My reading of them is that they aren't, or shouldn't be,, "blessed as good" but rather that they open themselves to criticism-with-teeth if they fail to make good on their promises of good.
People differ on what ethics is, but my personal definition of ethics isn't that there is a specific set of rules you comply with. That's just law and compliance is not ethics at all in my book. Ethics, to me, is a living process of continually asking hard questions of yourself, starting with "am I today right now ethical, and what makes me sure I've not drifted?" The answer to that can never be "I was blessed at birth as ethical."
To me, any notion that B-corps are blessed as ethical or that any one agency can certify unambiguously that someone is ethical is suspect. Organizations can perform independent audits and offer opinions, but that ought not end all discussion. Anyone founding a B-corp has asked for any stakeholder to challenge them.
We should be asking hard questions of the auditors as well.
