There's a fair amount of criticism on the wiki page https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/B_Corporation_(certification)?useskin=vector<\/a>
It's still a good idea, but it needs to be public regulation and not private. That's great.
The page mentioned the European Commission, but I couldn't find anything using my meta search engine or their own built-in search. I did get one hit from yandex, but the page was 404 at the commission.

IMO, 'tweaking' the system will never work.
Capitalism was only introduced a few hundred years ago and it needs to be abolished: remove the granting of personhood to a piece of legal fiction with no morals and only greed as a motive for 'existence'! It's straightforward!
We were doing business just fine before that moment in history. People may still combine their funds for larger enterprises.
Maybe our resident economics and politics prof
Having unaccountable greed enshrined in the law is ludicrous and proven to be harmful.
@ChrisMayLA6<\/a> knows why this tragic, historical error can't be undone?
