Etsy Joins Patagonia in Becoming a B Corporation

Etsy CEO Chad Dickerson announced the company has been certified a B Corporation, joining companies like Patagonia. B Corporations (for "benefit corporation") are a new kind of company that uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems, Dickerson explained. "It's like a LEED certification or Fair Trade certification, but for a business, not just a building or a bag of coffee."
