Idealist Consulting, a Gartner-endorsed provider of Salesforce consulting for nonprofits and socially responsible businesses, today announced that it has completed its recertification as a B Corporation. Idealist Consulting was among the first 100 companies nationwide to become a B Corporation, and has been certified since 2008.

B Corporations have met comprehensive and transparent standards of social and environmental performance that are certified by B Lab, a nonprofit organization
dedicated to using the power of business to solve social and environmental
problems. B Corporations must also embed their values into their corporate
governing documents so stakeholders benefit from their business practices.

"As a longtime partner of the nonprofit and sustainable business community and one of the original 100 B Corps, we are thrilled to show our continued commitment to this movement," says Rob Jordan, CEO and Founder of Idealist Consulting. "More than ever, our clients are looking for consultants with values championed by B Corps, and recertification has been a great way for us to show that we care about local and sustainable partnerships."

Unlike traditional corporations, Certified B Corporations are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on their employees, suppliers, community, consumers, and environment. Today there are nearly 1000 B Corporations in 32 Countries.
