Over the past decade, a new corporate form, the "benefit corporation," has become increasingly available and increasingly popular across the United States.

[...] on a surtout travaillé autour de l'entreprise. On a posé des balises pour l'encadrer. Ce sont les lois liées à l'environnement et au traitement des employés et des consommateurs. Mais on a très peu touché au cœur, soit à la finalité de l'entreprise. Aux États-Unis, les «benefit corporation» ou «entreprises d'intérêt pour la société» sont des entreprises à but lucratif qui ont pour but un impact positif sur la société. Il ne s'agit pas d'une intention, mais bien d'une forme juridique. 1, record 1, French, - entreprise%20d%27int%C3%A9r%C3%AAt%20pour%20la%20soci%C3%A9t%C3%A9
