Just because a company makes solar panels or organic cheese doesn’t mean it’s a sustainable business with good labor practices. So as a conscientious investor, how can you see past the bottom line? That’s where Andrew Kassoy and Beth Richardson can help. Andrew co-founded a new type of business that aims to benefit society and shareholders. It’s called a B-Corporation. Beth Richardson helps establish the standards by which companies are measured. They join Frank Stasio to share their vision for the future of the market economy. Plus, Eric Henry is President of TS Designs, a sustainable t-shirt company that is a certified B-Corporation. He shares why he decided to sell a $4 t-shirt in a $2 world.
