Workshop 2: The Emergence of New Organizational Forms

The gradual shift from shareholder to stakeholder value is fueling the emergence of new organizational forms such as B Corp, Conscious Capitalism and the Economy for the Common Good. Companies that become certified by these organizations can demonstrate that they are following a fundamentally different governance philosophy than traditional, profit-focused businesses. Today there are over 4,000 companies certified by these organizations. In this workshop, representatives from B Lab and the Economy for Common Good, supported by Fairphone (a B Corp member), will facilitate a conversation on making the shift towards these emerging governance models.
