Top Business Leaders Join Forces to Show People How They Can Continue Voting Their Values After Election Day
(New York, New York)— Certified B Corporations—a global community of
more than 2,600 companies using the power of business to solve social and
environmental problems—have launched the “Vote Every Day” campaign
following the midterm elections. The launch of the campaign comes at a
critical moment when voters have just finished casting their ballots in one of
the most consequential elections in recent history.
Voting is one of the most important acts any person can do. Once ballots are
cast on Election Day, people can continue to vote their values every day by
supporting B Corps.
Certified B Corporations balance purpose and profit and believe that big
societal issues, including the need for equity, high-quality jobs and
environmental sustainability, cannot rest in the hands of government alone.
The “Vote Every Day” campaign allows people to vote with their choices of
products and services throughout their daily lives. By supporting B Corps,
people can vote their values with the purchases they make, where they
work, and the companies they do business with.
“People have a voice beyond the ballet box. People have the power to vote
for what they believe in everyday by supporting brands that reflect their
values. People deserve to know what their money supports, and by choosing
B Corps, they can rest assured the products and services they purchase are
creating an equitable and just society,” says Anthea Kelsick, Chief Marketing
Officer of B Lab, the nonprofit that certifies B Corporations and serves a
global movement of people using business as a force for good.
B Corps are committed to creating a global community that seeks to be a
force for good in the world. The “Vote Every Day” campaign is just another
step in creating the society we all want to see, one where everyone can
thrive.
