Social & Environmental Responsibility
Opticos Design became a
Founding B Corporation™ in September 2007
What are B Corporations™?
B Corporations™ are a new type of corporation that are purpose-driven and create benefit for all stakeholders, not just shareholders.
B Corporations™ are unlike traditional responsible businesses because they:
- Meet comprehensive and transparent social and environmental performance standards.
- Institutionalize stakeholder interests.
- Build collective voice though the power of a unifying brand.
What is the change we seek?
Opticos seeks to create and revitalize healthy, sustainable, and diverse communities. These are places where kids can ride their bikes to school and residents can walk to meet their daily needs. They include a variety of housing choices to promote socially, economically, and age-diverse communities, and provide access to transit and alternative modes of transportation.
Why we became a B Corporation™?
Opticos became a B corporation to find support in creating a business that better reflects our passions and beliefs that businesses should be socially, environmentally, and fiscally responsible, as well as to provide a successful business model to other firms looking to do the same. We also support the B corporation initiative to help consumers sort through the marketing hype to find businesses and products that are truly socially and environmentally responsible.
