Abstract:
Within a limited study sample (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia), B Corporations have a statistically higher proportion of women included in the workforce. Results show that B Corps from different countries are not very different among themselves. This suggests that the B Lab is currently successful in constructing uniform gender-representativity criteria for companies from all over the world despite cultural and contextual differences. B Corporations are purpose-driven companies that are certified by B Lab, and focused on stimulating businesses to improve their social and environmental practices.
