At the beginning of February we announced and celebrated the 39 Founding Canadian B Corporations. Now we have reason to celebrate again.
Today B Lab released the first ‘Best for the World’ lists, recognizing B Corps creating the most positive overall social and environmental impact. The ‘Best for the World’ companies score in the top 10% among more than 500 Certified B Corporations, in one of the most comprehensive and independent assessments of overall corporate impact. B Lab also released separate lists of the ‘Best for the Environment’, ‘Best for the Community’, and ‘Best for Workers’.
Included in the “Best for” lists are no less than six Canadian B Corps.

SocialFinance.ca produces a weekly round up featuring social finance related news, insights, job openings, and events. We source the content for these round ups from Twitter, an RSS reader, and directly from our community of social finance practitioners. Below is our round up for the weeks of February 13, 2012 and February 27, 2012.
It is through the collaboration of ideas and experiences that the team at SocialFinance.ca can bring thoughtful discussions to the social finance community each week. In this spirit, we recently brought on several new Assistant Editors to enhance our network with their passion for impact investing and diverse professional backgrounds. To introduce readers to our new contributors, each Assistant Editor was asked what, in their opinion, impact investing needs to move forward.
