Socially Responsible Decision-Making in Certified Benefit Corporations

Hybrid businesses operate in a multi-objective environment where decisions must account for the impact to all stakeholders. This multi-case study examined how the leaders of these companies use strategic decision making to support both a social mission and retain business viability. The decisions made within these enterprises utilize a values-based lens where the implications to all stakeholder groups are considered. The positive social implications of certified benefit corporations, as a class of hybrid business, is the ability to create shared value between the organization and the communities in which they operate, generating greater human prosperity.
