Berwyn-based B Lab has released its annual “Best for the World” list that ranks for-profit companies on their commitment to social good in six categories, writes Julie Zeglen for Generocity.

The nonprofit has been certifying companies as B Corps using a rigorous metric system for the last 11 years.

To make the “Best for the World” list, a company has to be a certified B Corp that scores in the Top 10 percent of all B Corps for its impact on the B Impact Assessment. The companies are judged on their Community, Customers, Environment, Workers, Governance, and Overall.

On the state level, 17 Pennsylvania companies made the cut.
