About the Center

About the Center - What

 

At the Center for Business as an Agent of World Benefit (B.A.W.B) we help pioneering companies, entrepreneurs, and industry associations transform and turn the world's social and ecological issues into bona fide business opportunities—uniting the strengths of markets with the epic challenge of achieving a sustainable earth.

We provide solutions to the how of “doing well by doing good," helping companies become the leading-edge stars of their industries through research, education, and practice in two primary areas of focus:

- Sustainable Value – transforming businesses to assure substantial benefit from addressing social and/or environmental issues, and

- Social Entrepreneurship – solving social and/or environmental problems by applying new business models and tools.

"BAWB staff engaged our leadership group in a day long discussion and action planning event which was the springboard to integrate sustainability in all aspects of our business. BAWB is a terrific resource with vast applicable knowledge of this area."
