Womenetics, an online business platform, is proud to announce it has received designation to operate as a Certified B Corporation. B Corporations are a new kind of company which use the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. B Corporations are required to create a material positive impact on society and to meet higher standards of accountability and transparency. This new designation required extensive vetting by a national organization.

“The new B Corporation certification will enable Womenetics to propel a powerful and socially responsible business movement that advances professional women as agents of change. ” says Elisabeth Marchant, CEO, Womenetics. “It allows Womenetics to continue to leverage our audience of leaders -- women with education, influence and the means -- to act for change at local, national and global levels. We seek to inspire business to advance women as leaders which we consider to be an imperative for business and economic success in today’s global economy. We are proud to have received this certification.”
