STEM Minds Becomes a BCorp!

We have some exciting news! We are proud to announce that STEM Minds Corp. is officially a Certified B Corporation!

Becoming B Corp certified is a very important accomplishment for us. It demonstrates that we have critical social and environmental commitments as a for-profit business and are working to address the sustainability goals of the world.

As part of our B Corp certification, we are committed to continuing to develop a powerful sustainable business framework so that our community, and especially the youth we work with, can see that businesses can operate in a way that demonstrates that doing the right thing matters more than just profitability.

About B Corps

Certified B Corporations are businesses that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. B Corps are accelerating a global culture shift to redefine success in business and build a more inclusive and sustainable economy.

Society’s most challenging problems cannot be solved by government and nonprofits alone. The B Corp community works toward reduced inequality, lower levels of poverty, a healthier environment, stronger communities, and the creation of more high quality jobs with dignity and purpose. By harnessing the power of business, B Corps use profits and growth as a means to a greater end: positive impact for their employees, communities, and the environment.

B Corps form a community of leaders and drive a global movement of people using business as a force for good. The values and aspirations of the B Corp community are embedded in the B Corp Declaration of Interdependence.

The B Corp Declaration of Independence

Becoming a certified B Corp means that STEM Minds believes in and commits to adhering the following declaration:

We envision a global economy that uses business as a force for good.

This economy is comprised of a new type of corporation – the B Corporation –
Which is purpose-driven and creates benefit for all stakeholders, not just shareholders.

As B Corporations and leaders of this emerging economy, we believe:

• That we must be the change we seek in the world.
• That all business ought to be conducted as if people and place mattered.
• That, through their products, practices, and profits, businesses should aspire to do no harm and benefit all.
• To do so requires that we act with the understanding that we are each dependent upon another and thus responsible for each other and future generations.
