B Corp - Could it work?

The B Corp model interests me.

I worked for some years with Adrian and Dominic Cadbury and although the brothers had very different characters they had true Quaker principles running through their veins. Bournville was a terrific piece of planning that combined housing with employment and continues to this day to be a sought after location to live. Cadburys in the 1970s and 80s offered employees many benefits, such as swimming pool, gym, medical centre, dentist (essential with all that chocolate) I still have the bible they gave me to commemorate my marriage. All has been changed since Kraft took control.

The Bottom Line offers some insight into how B Corp works

Can we ever have ethics and compassion in business? Or will the least ethical always win?
