Happy Friday!

Yesterday MIBiz reported on the latest West Michigan Business to obtain B -Corp Certification The Highland Group becomes certified B Corp.

I’ve previously posted on West Michigan’s Thriving Culture of Social Entrepreneurship

in Michigan, the biggest concentration of the B-Corp businesses are in the Grand Rapids area, where there are 11 — twice as many as in Metro Detroit

This list  of “B Certified” companies includes Cascade Engineering, The Image Shoppe, & 616 Development, among others.

Welcome to the club, Highland Group!

Recent headlines in Grand Rapids have brought attention to the need for businesses to ask the question: Am I working to build a better community?

B-Corp certification is one way (certainly not the only way) for businesses to hold themselves accountable to being a good community partner.
