Looking for inspirational businesses with a 'conscience' in US - suggestions?

[Puck]

Hello all,

I am looking for inspirational businesses with a 'conscience' in the US for my PhD research here in New Zealand. Can you help?

My interest is in progressive, inspirational businesses that have a 'conscience'. Value-driven businesses that have an ethical approach to business, either through their product or service, or maybe through the way in which they have structured their company or its culture. I am specifically interested in those businesses that have a minimum of 30 employees and that have a genuine (!!) desire and purpose to do business in a new, more sustainable way.

Would love to hear suggestions!!

I would check out Bcorp they partner with companies that agree to rewrite their bylaws to include the good of the community and environment. Good Luck! They are out there (though sometimes hard to find). The companies I choose to be Bioneers sponsors are all people I feel good about giving my money to as well.

Thanks!!

My advice is to start a legal firm that creates 'nets'. The legal firm is for making things which are not sustainable illegal. the nets are companies for carpetbagging. If you're not from the states look up carpet-bagging. Intriguing right!!?
