After watching the new owner of his sports apparel company strip away long standing commitments to employees, community and the environment, Bart Houlahan knew there had to be a better way to use business as a force for good. He co-founded B Corporation, a growing movement of more than 1000 corporations in 80 industries and 30 countries creating a new sector of the economy with the ability to alleviate poverty, rebuild communities and restore the environment.
Bart Houlahan along with his partners, Jay Coen Gilbert and Andrew Kassoy, co-founded B Lab in 2006. B Lab is a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving entrepreneurs using business as a force for good.
